Post race
Warm down:

Water and walking around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just more working out. I improved my time in all segments, even the transitions. Even with the swim being longer I swam it faster than previously.

Event comments:

The outer buoy was placed the day before in a storm. They should have set it in the morning when it was calm and got the distance correct. There were not enough paddleboarders/kayakers; they were looking for more volunteers just before the race. Otherwise the number of volunteers was very good.
