I have just started swimming 1 month ago, so the time for me is really good and better than expected.
What would you do differently?:

Have to work better on my orientation.

Comments:

Long steep hill from the water to T1. Took it very calm.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Maybe not to use gloves on the bicycle (30 seconds to put them on), but feel more secure because it was raining on the bicicle circuit.

Congratulations!  Started swimming 1 month prior to doing a 1/2 IM ... and completing the whole thing in less than 6 hrs?

Wow.
