I think i'm actually not a bad swimmer! I was relaxed the whole time, just keep plugging away, didn't sprint at the beginning, which meant I past quite a few in the second 600-800 meters.

I did better on the run than the June Lake. I did some intervals, and because of not having an inhaler for my allergies, I just keep the mantra "Nice and Easy" through the whole 5k.
What would you do differently?:

Asthma. Course work on running faster. Take an alevert before the race.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Asthma.

Event comments:

The "feel" of the race was very supportive, not aggressively competitive. It was about fun, fitness, and comradery which helped me tremendously in not getting stressed, and doing better in the long run than my previous tri.
