Warm down:

Bagel, oranges, water.
Cooled down in the lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Continue working on the swim.
Also, need to run more often now that IT band is better. Felt my left foot neuroma but it was not too bad. I wilt running when it is above +22C with the direct sun.

Event comments:

I did not stay for the draws after.
