Did not swim well. Can't seem to get a rythm going. I was worn out 1/2 way through. Finally felt good near the end.

Go slow in the beginning. Don't start in the middle of the pack.

Swim course was crowded/confusing. Bike roads were concrete with several holes, but good challenge. All in all a pretty good race course. Will feel more comfortable next time. Thought there should have been some loud music playing.
