Last email I recieved the course was still a go for out and back, they changed it in the mean time. Only lost a few seconds as I slammed on the brakes to make the turn. Would have been nice to know that prior to the race. I wasn't the only one confused.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training

Event comments:

weather related issues cancelled the swim and it sounds like they made the right decision. They decided they wouldn't be able to watch all participants in the water with 5 foot swells. This worked to my advantage as my swim is very weak.
