Comments:

Very nice! Lol.
Non wetsuit is bad but figured 32-34 minutes.
Actually got turned around somehow on lap 1 and did an extra 200 yards, once I figured out where I was. Actually swam lap one in 23 minutes, lap 2 was about normal. Oops!
What would you do differently?:

Start up front and hang onto faster swimmers like I would in wetsuit.
I really let the non-suit affect my thinking.

Bad shoes for this. Wet, loose and really was sketchy on the rocky trail. Didn't go hard at all!
What would you do differently?:

Bring lace up training shoes for this X-Terra type run.
Post race
Warm down:

Helped tear down transition area

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming with head in butt!

Event comments:

Love to see run trails rerouted to avoid all the oncoming runners all day.
Also had odd timing for the sprint triathlon start that didn't make sense. Basically made them start swim on the oly lap 2. (So transition and bike course were jammed)
Seems real easy to me, start sprint swim wave ahead of oly and they are long gone from transition...?
