Comments:

I did not like this swim at all. I still don't know why -- I usually love the swim. I was prepared, but never really got into a rhythm. Also, it was my first swim in my wetsuit, and it felt a bit constricting.
What would you do differently?:

Get into a rhythm.

I loved, loved, loved this bike ride! Another woman and me kept passing each other. It was good fun. I finally passed her, but she was right behind me at the end of the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing!

Better than my last T2 from last year, but needs to really be under 1 minute!

Go faster!

I don't think this was 2 miles, because I have never run sub 7 in a tri. But, I will take it!
