Comments:

Really thought I had improved my swimming. I rented a DeSoto T1 wetsuit with long sleeve pull over. I heated up a little. Nothing special about the swim other than a below average performance.
What would you do differently?:

Keep going to the pool and putting in the time. I have fixed some of my mechanical issue in my stroke, but I need to be faster.

Fine T1. Could be faster

Just hurry up. I looked at my watch after the swim and was bummed about my swim split.

Computer went nutty on the ride. My race plan was to follow my watts. Had to go by feel and HR.

Please with my ride. Could have been faster. Considering the conditions I'm happy.
What would you do differently?:

Double check power meter to make sure it is functioning.

Run Faster
Post race

liquuids and food

What limited your ability to perform faster:
