Comments:

I picked a nice easy pace and stuck with it. The fastest wet-suit swim in my division was 12:44.7, 5 1/2 minutes faster than me. The fastest non-wetsuit was 10:56.4, nearly 7 1/2 minutes faster than me.
What would you do differently?:

I would push my pace a little faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a hamburger.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my first 1/2 mile race, so I choose to take it easy.

Event comments:

I really enjoyed this race and intend to do it again!
