Course had large buoys but I still had a difficult time telling where I was on return swim.
What would you do differently?:

Difficult return to shore with sun directly in face, NEED TO GET TINTED watergoggles. Poor/difficult time with navigation. More open water swim practice needed. Get tri specific wet suit, too much drag with boating short-sleeve style suit.

Nice race Corey;
It was good to meet you before the start. I hope we run into each other next year. As for the swim. I had tinted goggles and I couldn't make the bouys out either. I hate swimming into the sun. You'd think they could have arranged it so that we swam parallel to the beach for a while instead of out and back.
A proper tri wet suit makes a big difference too.

Best

Great start on your triathlons. You now know what you have to build on for next year. Check the site often and learn to set up a training plan for next year. Use the winter to build your weakness'. There are many good races near Brainerd (within 2 hrs drive) and you should hit some of them next year.
