The start was rough, run down the beach and then dive into the waves to start, pretty good breakers coming in, took a while to get a rhythm but after the first turn felt better
What would you do differently?:

first ocean swim this year so not terrible

knew that was it was going to be a long beach run so was prepared, really like the finish down the boardwalk where you can really turn it on, good close on the beach, course was a little short

Event comments:

Much improved race venue, stopped doing this race a few years ago because of the bike course but it is really great now, Delmo does a great job organizing and now the course and after race activities are first rate, good race for 1st timers
