Comments:

Was slightly off course (to the left) with the second buyo, on both laps. Drafted some but not much.

What would you do differently?:

Worry less about being the last one. Ha-ha, I was the third last.
It was no tiring for me, all in the technique.
Gain more weight, because my wet suit seems too big on me these days.

Warm down:

Very cold, what warm down, it was a freeze down.

Skills :-)

Great race in a beautiful setting.

Thanks for the race summary; I live in Calgary - what time of year was this race, and will it happen in 2015? Congrats!

Sorry did not see your questions until now. This race usually starts at 10am and we just had it yesterday for 2015, the weather was much better this year.
