Comments:

Ummmmmmm the swim was not so good. We actually had to tread water for about 2 minutes before the start so I was out of breath starting....Finally got in a groove about half way through...then got badly stung by a jellyfish which I saw as I swam over it. OUCHHHHHHHHH. Finished the swim quickly after that and the stinging just got worse and worse while on the bike, but was gone by the time I started running.
What would you do differently?:

uh wear a wetsuit or not do a tri with jellyfish infested waters.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough water, jellyfish sting, not practicing transitions.

Event comments:

I think they should warn about jellyfish. Also plenty of food/water after race, but only 1 water stop during the whole race (during the run).
Next year I will do the NYC Tri, which was on the same day!!!!
