loaded up and drove 400 miles

What limited your ability to perform faster:

poor preparation for the cold weather, late swim start, didnt seed myself well. I think I estimated a 10 minute swim time when I registered

Event comments:

The only complaints are the porta pottys running out of TP during the pre race rush and the chaos of sorting out the swim start. Ask the Y to let the race have the long hallways to line up swimmers instead of the scrum in the lobby.
