It felt quite long. Breathing was off, and I spent alot of time backstroking.
What would you do differently?:

Practice, practice, practice more. It was open enough that I should have been able to crawl the whole distance.

Very slow. Tough to get my bearings

Push a little more on the bike, but the transition was the big thing.

Practice dismounting. Shoes off, helmet unclipped, run with bike.

Walked alot of the way. Hit the wall after the first mile.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim took my breath away. Need to be a bit more confident in the water. Knowing how fast I was on the bike would also help, as I would have pushed a bit harder had I known what my time was.

Great race!
