Walls took a lot of time and it got crowded quickly. I do much better with flip turns.
What would you do differently?:

Comments:

I wasn't rushing at all. Wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything. Put on my shorts backwards over my wet suit. That must have looked funny!
What would you do differently?:

Put my shorts on correctly. Oh, and get a one-piece tri suit so I don't have to deal with putting clothes on when wet.
