Did better at breathing. Had to pass lots of people and that slowed me down just a little as they were all over the lanes. Last length breathiing every stroke (likely too excited).

placed 10/94 females!
What would you do differently?:

continue working to relax excitement levels

Screwed up route - totally my fault. Took flood route first and lost 6 min flat. Had I done it right times would have been: 1:16:43 rank 4 in AG, and 106 overall rank :(

placed 42/94 females (would have been 21/94, ugh)
What would you do differently?:

Ask / validate bike route when in doubt. i assumed that was correct route cause 1. it's marked, 2. group rode it twice...ugh.

Practice mount/dismount!
