Comments:

Awful! Head out of water the entire time. Googles fogged. Started way back and waited until things cleared out a little due to first time jitters.
What would you do differently?:

More training, longer training. Tons of open water training needed. Technique went right out the window with starters gun.

  • 03m 10s
Comments:

Socks got stuck. Towel not out of bag.
What would you do differently?:

Socks stuck, dead from swim. Sit down to address feet, don't hop around trying to get socks on. Run out of transition, as allowed.

Felt good, fastest pace ever, but flat, easy, course.
What would you do differently?:

Watch inside pedal during turns, almost wiped.

  • 01m 1s
Comments:

Slow pokes ahead of me. Stuck as a result of olympic distance folks exiting too.
What would you do differently?:

Get around slow pokes possible.

Comments:

1st mile sucked. Overall, happy with pace.
What would you do differently?:

Don't push so hard at end of bike.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Got upset stomach after eating free grub. Not sure why. Took in some lake water and didn't feel good after HEED during run. Who knows.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming. Gotta get that squared away. Gotta get into a smooth rythm. Perhaps with some more experience with these races.

Event comments:

Excellent work by event organizers. I'm a novice, but this was clearly a great place for a first timer to start. Nice playground for the kids if you and significant other are both participating.
