Swim was ok as the number of participants is not many. But some participants actually hit me on my goggles and other parts of my body during the swim.

Comments:

Turn on the GPS of my new TIMEX watch to detect but took a while to get connections. Everything was already laid out before the race, thus it was relatively smooth.

Run was ok. Couldn't increase pace any more. Felt a bit exhausted. Partly due to the sun.

Use a cap or a sun visor
