Time trial start, we lined up in order of who was fastest - a LOT of slow people thought that they were faster than they were so I had to go around a lot of people in the pool...but its so weird for me to be the passer and not the passee I got no complaints...

It was not timed by itself, so the time is a guess...
What would you do differently?:

Start further up, had to wait a good 30 minutes to start which wasn't so fun...

Event comments:

Not the best organized race, lots of people who were doing their first triathlon...and I really wish that they could have figured out a way to get the splits, I like knowing those...honestly, I think that they got my time wrong, I dont think I was that fast - I know I wsn't that fast...but I'll just go with it. ha!!

But, I got 1st in age group with that time - and I think I would have gotten second in age group even with the correct time...so that was cool cause in *real* races, I'm never close to first...:)
