Comments:

Total immersion really helped me enjoy this swim. Loved it. Trimed 5 minutes off the 1/2 mile from August race. Clear water and using a mountain peak as a sighting point was surreal. So freeking cool.
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed harder. Trying to figure out wetsuit swimming. 2nd time ever in a suit.

I didnt prepare well for this race on the bike. In the 3 months between races my training was:
3 outdoor rides (then BB broke)
15 spin classes
2 stationary rides
= weak legs.
Better work harder for next one.
What would you do differently?:

Work harder training.
Get bike fixed so i can ride outdoors

I bruised my heal back in early OCT. I was carrying a heavy tv out to my truck barefoot and stepped on a rock. Freaking Hurt. I didnt run 1 time for 6 weeks leading up to the event.

Calves were mad at me!!!
What would you do differently?:

UUUHHH, train.
