Was WAYYY off course a lot, could have been in in under 8 min easily.

Learn to swim straight ;-)
Warm up.

Includes transition. Computer said 19:19 and 31+ average; I took all too long in transition, was just taking my time and watching how fast others were in and out.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe practice transition and decide how to lay out my equipment. Focus on my on transition.

Take 2 less minutes ;-)

Comments:

Good run, could have went harder but wasn't quite sure of the distance.
What would you do differently?:

Walk/run course previously; know when you can push. Could have knocked 1 minute off easily.
Post race
Warm down:

None; waited for wife to finish at the end.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Preparation for event --> first event, not used to starting something new with someone else (the wife). Could have cut 4 minutes easily and hit top 10%. Will make it quickly (I hope).

Event comments:

Nothing to compare to, but the event was well run and the area was beautiful. Didn't put much pressure on myself to go hard, just wanted to learn the ropes a bit. Next event will be a Sprint distance and will be close to the benchmark for me to start.
