Comments:

My wave went out with the rest of the men....was really hard, lots of people in the way, got pushed down once.
What would you do differently?:

Give the men's wave a couple of minutes to advance.
Post race
Warm down:

wetsuit off, dried off, got some choc milk.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

more OWS. Also, I found it hard to get my legs and arms in a good rhythm, so maybe less time with the pull buoy and more time swimming with leg kicks.

Event comments:

There didn't seem to be a lot marketing for this part of the race. Would have liked to have seem more people than just 3 in the race. Also start came up pretty fast as well...maybe more warning next time.
