I didn't wear a wetsuit, so I imagine my swim wasn't as fast as others. The water was way too warm for a wetsuit though.

The start was really crowded, so I had a hard time running with my bike. So, when I jumped on, I didn't have much momentum going and came to a stop.

Event comments:

This was my first race since spraining my ankle in January, so I decided to start with an easy sprint. The race felt good, and I was happy to see that I can still perform at a high level after the injury.
