Pre-race routine:

Got there early to get a good transition spot. Turned out that everybody wanted the same row and the bike stands were placed to close together for two people to set up their transition spots
Event warmup:

Jogged for 15 min and then rode the bike for another 15 min. No swimming since they didn't open the lake until about 20 min prior to the start.

Comments:

The swim time included the ran to and from the lake
What would you do differently?:

I waited until all the males went and then got in the water because it was my first open water swim race. I then had to swim through the floaters and backstrokers. I would start more in the middle of the pack to avoid this

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
