Comments:

my calves were really knotted up and I walked the first loop. I ran the second loop-I didn't get splits, but I took at least ten minutes less on the second loop.

I also was (and still am) having hip pain and every step was awful...eventually I realized that if I ran, taking long strides, I experience less pain in the completion of the race.
What would you do differently?:

fix my whip kick so I don't screw up my hip again. Not let myself walk...
Post race
Warm down:

walked around,stretched, ate food, checked times, waded in the sound

What limited your ability to perform faster:

minimal training, screwy hip

Skip the gloves!

And the skort! It's not aero enough! j/k

The whip kick, however, is very useful for eliminating the competition in close quarters. How do you think I did so well?
