UUGGGLLLYY!!!
I placed myself too much to the back of the pack. Until the first turn, I was just struggling to get past slower swimmers. I was unable to catch a draft and my navigation was poor

Everything!

I can place myself more toward the front to middle of the pack.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was tired before, during, and after this race. It just wasn't my best, or even average, performance.

Event comments:

Great race. Lots of swag.

There was a fatality accident that held up traffic. The organizers delayed the start of the race for 20 minutes and added a wave for the late arrivals. I think that is great, it would have been so disappointing for the folks caught behind the accident to not be able to race.

Great race! Personally, I liked it a little better than Danskin and the course was a lot nicer. I wish the weather was warmer.
