Easy swim...was concerned becasue of lack of training, now I know I can always do the distance, no need to worry.
What would you do differently?:

well i only swam 5 times the 4 months leading up to the race. perhaps I could swim train.

Bike course was great. I forgot about all the hills. Had some headwinds as well and a long flase flat back 1/3rd. Great course though. the Cd0.1 performed well.

My mantra was "just run the entire first lap". Def lacked mental toughness here. Ran the entire first half in the 9's then allowed myself to have small walk breaks on the 2nd which really slowed me down overall.

swim training, run endurance.

Good work on getting it done! Pretty sure I would drown if I only did 5 swim sessions.
