Comments:

I put myself near the front on the outside since last year--I was swimming up people... Well I had one guy swim up me and hit me in the back for about 4 strokes (I was afraid to kick)

Got off course at the end but overall a consistent swim for me.
What would you do differently?:

I have not been doing a lot of swim training lately so I did not see any improvement over last year.

Comments:

I did not have my running legs coming out of transition so on a small up hill I fell (Lucky it was grass) I bounced up and got on it.....I walked once on the way out about 1/2 way up the hill...from there on it was go go go...I do not think I picked up the pace at the end but wanted too. this also was a course PR for me and one of my best runs of the season
What would you do differently?:

train
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

my training has been on and off late in the season but I still PRd the course for a 2nd straight year..hopefully I will be back next year....
