Did well in the first 100 meters but lost my rhythm and had trouble breathing. I think the water being cold took so my wind out of my sails.

Need to swim more so it is 2nd nature for rhythm

The course was challenging but I felt that I wasn't pushing hard enough. I also got confused on one portion and thought I made a wrong turn so I slowed down. Found out I was on the right trail but it cost me 15 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Run harder toward the end. I felt like I could have pushed harder but my body did not cooperate.

I stand corrected on at least one thing - the water was 64 degrees and not 69 degrees.

So far, I am signed up for the DC Tri in September. I waited too long to sign up for the Reston Tri. I'll plan on volunteering at the event instead. I'm doing a Bike Century June 10th (my first) but is a ride for the Diabetes Association.  I was thinking about the Little Pepper but I'll have to see if I have any saddle left after the century.

Just FYI, Reston Tri registration closes within 20 minutes of opening. It is crazy how fast it fills out. Many local athletes in this area only do this one race. So if you want to do this race next year get you computer on 10 minuted before the registration and then go! go! go! :-)
