Wave start was carnage with people. I moved to outside quickly to get out of the way. Decent enough swim with no freak outs. Moments of speed on the way back, but mainly just tried to finish. Minimal current and waves. Still getting used to swimming in salt water.
What would you do differently?:

Train and train more

Had fun. The roads were a little rough and the reflectors made passing difficult, but not bad. First time in a while that I pushed myself on the ride.
What would you do differently?:

Train for speed on the bike.

Missed the rack with the handlebars on first attempt.

Having to put on socks slowed me down, but the difference during the run made up for it.

Felt great. Didn't feel like I left anything out on the run. Maintained same pace throughout and just one-by-one passed people. Really enjoyed this run (other than the course).
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Post race

Bad swim training.

Nice job out there today! You were smoking on the run!

I forgot out the reflectors on the road, it was like an obstacle course!
