Comments:

Lost my goggles while jumping in, so that distracted me some. I think I would have done a little better maybe. .
What would you do differently?:

Hold on to my goggles, train for the swim longer and harder.

Better organization, move faster, dry legs better, chafing hurts.

Wow, now that was much hillier (sp) than I anticipated. I even trained on hills. I am proud of myself because I mucsled my way up each one of them.
What would you do differently?:

Practice going down hills, I felt pretty out of control on one and that scared me some. Was afraid I wouldn't make the turn and would hit the cop instead.

It will be better next time.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure socks aren't bunchy. Blister aren't comfy either

Decent run, could have pushed harder. Sock was bunched and was uncomfortable.
What would you do differently?:

Check socks and run harder!!!!!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me, I think that I didn't push myself quite as hard as I could have and let my emotion about that defeat me a little.

Event comments:

Being that this was my first. I think it was great. I had my kid there and they were ready to go so didn't stick around. Anxious for the next one.
