Comments:

This was a horrible swim. I was never able to get into a rhythm. This was my first OWS since I was younger, and I paid the price for not practicing. I started outside back, which was the only smart thing I did. I'll jsut say I didnt breath well, or even get into a decent stroke the entire swim. I am a much better swimmer than this. I guess I learned the difference between OWS and the lap pool.

Comments:

I took it a little slow, just to get my bearings.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing this time, this was what I expected. I would like to try and have shoes already attached to pedals in the future. Maybe that will be for next year.

Hmm, what to say. I just need to spend more time on the bike. Especially on hills. I have only been riding since March, so I'm not too concerned at this point. I felt OK with the bike portion.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder.

I felt great off the bike, legs were not crampy.
What would you do differently?:

I think I should have gone a little harder

Event comments:

Hard to rate this race, since I dont have anything to base it on. I thought it was well organized, the volunteers were OUTSTANDING!!

I will do this race again next year with better results.
