Comments:

Went out faster and up toward front on the left side for a clockwise swim. Had to breast and then swam without head in water then back to swimming. Some primal fear leaps in here and I have a hard time getting into a swim rhythm. Need more open water swimming and more cowbell. :-)
What would you do differently?:

Swim.

Post race
Warm down:

Drank my big water bottle they gave each of us. Walked around with family. Browsed the booths. I was a little nauseas and had some abdominal cramps afterward. A bit light-headed later in the day.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My swim phobia.

Event comments:

Very well organized. Lots of support. Great pre-race expo on Saturday. Very pro-female. Triathlete women are generally incredibly supportive and friendly.
