Comments:

Really happy with this race. Swam strongly all the way through. Race was just the right challenge for my current fitness level. Was getting tired towards the end but was able to keep going at a steady pace. Happy with navigation.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I did the most training I could given my very time-poor situation (two young clingy children and a husband that works long hours).
Post race
Warm down:

Went to the pub for a late lunch and enjoyed the quiet, child-free time before catching the ferry back home to the chaos that is our life ;-)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Two young clingy children and a husband that works long hours.

Event comments:

Would do it again. Great race. I love Rotto.
