swim was brutal, so many people and my wetsuit was to tight so the breathing was labored for me.

different wetsuit, stay to the far outside and maybe wait and go with the novice group.

Event comments:

Terrible post race. Huge line for food so we skipped it and couldn't get bike out of transition forever. Were letting 10 people in at a time. Then they finally opened it up so everyone was in at once, which means everyone was trying to leave the parking lot at the same time. WORST post race ever!

It was literally seconds after I started swimming that I felt the tightness in my chest. I couldn’t get a deep breath in due to the tightness of my wetsuit. I was being strangled by my wetsuit...
