Did not train at all for the swim so although this was my slowest swim (by far) I was happy with the results (as in happy to just get out of the water)

Comments:

Decent transition... My bike was in way too small of a gear and had a hard time out of transition area
What would you do differently?:

make sure bike is in an easy gear during my set up

pretty good bike. Out and back course with a headwind on the way back.
Didn't push too hard on the bike b/c wanted to save some energy for the run

Good run. This is where I made my PR for the race. Kept a steady pace and didn't stop running. Overall very good for me but lots of room for improvement
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Doing this in the middle of marathon training led to less time on the bike / swim than normal

Event comments:

Solid race, well organized. Never had any confusion about when or where to go. Course was clearly marked with tons of volunteers
Would do again
