Comments:

All my fears of my first tri OWS came true. 5 minutes into the swim took a nice drink of the lake water, or two, and panic set in for the next minute. Completely stopped swimming, focused and ended up finishing mostly with the backstroke.
What would you do differently?:

uhhhhh.......training desperately needed.

Warm down:

Walked around, got some food and water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training for the last two weeks. The Indy mini took alot out of me and affected my last two weeks of training.

Event comments:

Overall I am pleased with my first triathlon. Had a great time. My first goal going in was to finish. Second goal was to finish within three hours. Was hoping to get together and talk with some other BT'ers but never got around to it. Did meet some very interesting and helpful people. Was a great experience.
