Comments:

No energy! fairly slow run, but it was nice talking to some of the other athletes, and it was a nice looking course. The last mile and a half on the sand killed me though! Definitely the reason behind my slow time.
What would you do differently?:

Pick a course with no sand!

Overall: 4/300
Performance: Good
Suit: n/a
Course: Interesting... Began with about a 50 yard run out to where it was actually deep enough to swim. The buoys were placed about 20 minutes before the race began this morning. Despite my fear, I started in the front of the pack and stayed there- no one passed me, and I passed a few people. Finished 4th overall, very excited about that!
