None. With my daughter who did the duathlon.
Swim

What would you do differently?:

Need to swim more, and get some open water swims in. Largely for comfort. I can swim much farther than this in the pool, just don't feel as comfortable in open water.

Includes a fair amount of running up from the river, and I mean "up".

Post race
Warm down:

Drank water and waited for my daughter; the Duathlon started after I did.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming. Just more endurance training. I did fine for me.

Event comments:

Course needs mileage markers. A few on the bike and at least every mile on the 5K run. Start/End of the bike course is very tight. Not enough racks for the bikes. The racks were absolutely packed with bikes.
