Comments:

Googles fogged up a bit and after the last turn I had some trouble seeing. Also after the last turn there were tons of people from the previous two waves moving incredibly slowly and I had to maneuver around them.

17/275 for T1. Transitions remain my best discipline. I had a lot of trouble getting my left show on too. Felt pretty dizzy.

It was a good run for me. Negative splits and I pushed it. But I still really need to work on my run. If I could run I could be really good lol!!
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder in the first mile maybe. But I'm still happy with my run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk a little, stretch a little, cheer others to the finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am too slow of a runner:(

Event comments:

The biggest bummer was how long the awards took after the race. With duathletes, aquabikers, first timers, clydesdales, athlenas, relays.... then the triathlon! Then they would stop to pull raffles and would have to pull like 5 before the prize would be claimed. It took forever to get my AG award!!!!

Also race did not start on time.
Overall though volunteers were great and encouraging.
