Post race
Warm down:

got a recovery shake. not sore at all afterwards. just tired from no sleep

What limited your ability to perform faster:

didnt know what to expect. truly needed to have had more to eat while waiting two hours to get into the pool. i had no energy in me by the time i actually started since i had to wait so long to swim. if i can just get more efficient at swimming I would have cut down quite a bit more time and would have had the energy to run 7:30 or faster miles.

Event comments:

Great way to start my Tri career and I just wish I had pushed myself a little harder to get main goal of sub 1:30 time but 1:31 is close enough for me. Lots of fun and great volunteers.
