Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

First time so I ws just trying to get through the race. No experince in open water swim limited performance. Taking off of wetsuit ws time heavy. Needed to be more aggresive in assing and pushing near the end of race. I also should have pushed harder on the run during the the second loop.

Event comments:

I can't say enough good things about this race. The staff was helpful the volunteer were great. All the triathletes were helpful and courteous.
