Comments:

For me this was a great time and I felt super afterward, but I do need help with my swim. I dod not have all the results yet but the winning time in my age group was 20 something minutes faster than me! But this was not bad for my first time and it gives me a baseline to work with. I felt like I could have hopped on a bike and rode if this was a triathlon.

Maybe swim some fast intervals during the race
