Comments:

First of all, I accomplished what I wanted......I remained calm the entire swim. In regards to my time, I have NO idea what happened (other than I didn't swim fast). I did do a fair amount of the usual swimming around people, getting caught behind people, and trying to get out of the chaos. I also got cornered a bit at the buoy turn. I don't know that this was enough to slow me down this much.
What would you do differently?:

Better start position....out of the crowd

Comments:

I felt dead on the run. Mentally running straight makes me feel like it's so much further than it really is. Took in water, dumped a cup on my face, and took a wet towel both out and back in. That helps me a lot on hot days since I hate running in above 70 degrees.
What would you do differently?:

My pace was slower than I would have liked but I really didn't have anymore to give so I wouldn't change anything.
Post race
Warm down:

Fluids, food, relax :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself? I could be 5lbs lighter, could have trained harder.....that's it. Not satisfied with all of my times but I finished after a 3 yr "break" and I feel like I left it all on the course.

Event comments:

Sean Ryan runs this race- what more can I say! Simply the best around!

Nice Job Megan! Way to rock that heat out there yesterday. I'm impressed with how fast T1 was with getting a wetsuit OFF!

How was Green Bay?? Choppy, cold? Big fish?

Thanks Sarah! My T1 time is with great thanks to wetsuit strippers that the DCT has Smile. 

Horseshoe bay was the best EVER conditions.....really no chop, and 70 degrees! As for the fish, I try not to think about what might be swimming under me Surprised LOL
