didn't drink enough on ride, didn't mix electrolytes correctly
could have pushed harder

some of my stuff had gotten kicked and scattered around prior to my return on the bike, took a few seconds to gather and secure loose items

Comments:

had a hard time finding my cadence groove - shins hurt for 1st half then relaxed @ 15mins into the run. Found a running partner for the last 2k and she made me run a hard sprint from the final turn. Thanks!
What would you do differently?:

go shirtless if possible or use a light colored singlet/tri-suit.

walk less, stretch a bit before the swim
Post race
Event comments:

It was a fun event and I'll do it again.
there were a lot of bikes on the ground because they ran out of bike racks pre-race - I hope next time they are better prepared for a larger crowd.
