very last person in the water, walked out slow, still paniced after starting to swim and getting a mouth full of water, then calmed myself down and had a great swim! starting last made it hard navigating all the people.

terrible run for me!!!!!! I had a goal of 9 min miles and knew that was not going to happen after the first 2 miles. The legs were dead but I was making it until the calves started to cramp bad?

Take salt along for the run, bike easier and push harder on the run.

should have trained harder, but it was my first 1/2
