Never Swam Open water. Just started lap swimming in Jan/Feb. I swam until I saw peopl wading by me. Thought that was funny.
What would you do differently?:

Breath out of both Sides, so I could track the buoys better

No Bike computer this time and I left my 32C commuter tires on. Very disappointed in the bike portion. Cadence was good, but I kept thinking I needed to save my legs 4 Run.
What would you do differently?:

Balls out on bike 18-21 MPH. Smaller tires and take hills more aggresive.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

First ever TRI. Goal was to finish until I realized I was going to do that easily, then I was frustrated that I held back as much as I did. Overall I gained valuable experience to carry me into next year.

Event comments:

Next year I plan on cutting my time by several minutes.
