This was harder than it looked. Kept slipping forward on the seat due to wet suit.

Maybe a towel on the seat?

Treadmill was started at 7:00 / mile pace. Jumped on while belt was moving. Sped up to 6:00 / mile pace. Held that for about a mile, then slowed to 6:18. Finished the last 1/4 mile at 5:45 pace.
What would you do differently?:

Could I have pushed it more?

Warm down:

Walked some on the treadmill. Stretched a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of recent training, motivation, mental toughness.

From pictures, looked like post-race food and drinks were nice.
