Comments:

My first OWS ever, did 12 minutes faster than I thought I would. The wetsuit helped incredibly. The seaweed in my face while swimming freaked me out a first, but I got used to it.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice before the race.

Back hurt a LOT, so did my seat. I was one of the few who didn't get lost on the route, seems one of the arrows on a turn was missing, somehow I noticed.
What would you do differently?:

Get a better bike and one that actually fits me.

Nothing

After the 3rd mile I had no legs. It was a 1 mile loop that had a nasty hill with uneven footing, real hard on the legs.
What would you do differently?:

Take a good after the bike.

Event comments:

Race started late, 1 sign during the bike segment was pulled so many bikers were lost.
