Veered way off course. Couldn't see buoy with sun in eyes and didn't realize there was a fair current pushing me out further.
What would you do differently?:

Overall I had a good swim and I was pretty calm, no anxiety attacks and maintained a slow and steady freestyle throughout.

little jog

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Don't really no how to rush transitions and didn't consider pushing pace in my goals. My goal was to finish and I did, so I'm happy.

Event comments:

Truly a well organized and challenging event. Clearly a favorite amongst seasoned veterans and still wonderful for a first timer like me.
