Start was good. Got a little disoriented - first open water swimm of the year. Despite knowing better I pulled up "just to get my bearings". After that it was a struggle.

Keep swimming. Keep th erythm going.

do it faster next time

Comments:

Legs felt very heavy and stiff at beginning. Bike course ended with uphills and my legs felt dead at the beginning of the run but they did loosen up in the seciond half of the run
What would you do differently?:

I probably should have domne more pre-race warm-up for running - maybe jogged out a little bit? I know I could have run harder.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch and rest

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim - all mental
Bike- cornering
Run - held back due to heavy legs

Event comments:

Extremely well organized race. They put on a good feed after as well!
