Comments:

I wish the course had more buoys on it. I was difficult to see where I need to swim to next. Swam too wide for the turning buoy, never saw the one in between.
What would you do differently?:

Sight more carefully and hug the course better.

Not used to bike riding such hilly terrain.

Tough race. Swim needs better marking. Bike ride was very challenging and exhausting. Harder than I thought going into it. Run was also hilly, and difficult because I was so tired by then.
