I didn't pull my wetsuit up enough I learned afterwards. This resulted in my shoulders being on fire by the end, which is unusual because I can easily swim a lot further than this distance.
What would you do differently?:

Well here I am replying to my own post. I didn't realize that "make public" would do a post. I also just started using the training log today. Too bad, what a great tool. It would have been neat to see everything that went into my first tri. I suspected, but wasn't sure. No big deal. Anyway...this was my second tri. My first was an olympic distance two weeks prior, so I wasn't concerned about the distances here, just worried about the open water swim.  The 222/234 finish...I'm sure I didn't finish that far back, but can't get into the site at the moment to confirm.

I probably posted this somewhere already, but in June I switch from mainly weightlifting (with no respect for health, fitness, etc) to Triathlon. I'll post more details about this in my next race report.

Anyway, I'm certainly in no danger of hitting the podium anytime soon, but I sure do love this training. Comments, etc are welcome and appreciated
