Holy Brainfreeze, Batman! Seriously, this water was so cold, that even with a full wetsuit my heart felt under duress. They should have a lifeguard. I will NEVER do this race again - only because of the water temp.
What would you do differently?:

Wear one of those stupid looking wetsuit caps on my head... slather my hands, feet and neck in 1/2 inch of petroleum jelly.

No problems... Any thing was better than being in that water.

Comments:

I did not have a lot of fun on my bike. For the first half, my system was still recovering from the arctic water. The second half, I was hampered by the fact that I had only been on my bike once all month. The out & back course is mostly flat and a little boring.
What would you do differently?:

I did this race because I was jones-ing in the weeks after my last planned race of the season. Therefore, I was significantly under-trained.

Unremarkable. My husband ran me in, which was fun.
