Good swim for me. I have averaged one swim per week for the past month or more. My goal was 18 minutes and I did 18:01. Close enough.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to do flip turns.

Comments:

Had trouble getting shoes on. I didn't wear socks, didn't dry my feet and did a poor job of getting them on.
What would you do differently?:

Dry feet before putting on shoes.

Comments:

Good run. Just like the swim, I haven't run hardly at all this past month. The first mile was tough after the swim. It took me about 5 minutes to get my breathing to a normal rate. After that I kept a constant pace. The run was longer than 5k based on the times.
What would you do differently?:

Train.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, dring Gatorade, jump in pool, shower.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training over the past month.

Event comments:

This was a great race. There were just as many volunteers as competitors. Everyone had a great time. Plenty of refreshments. Just an overall fun event with no expectations, no pressures, and a good group of people.
