Felt better on this race swim than at the other two I have done. Not as much panic and better breathing, but still room to improve.
What would you do differently?:

Try and find a bit more room to swim.

Haven't spent a lot of time on the bike lately and it shows. I think that I should have knocked 2 or 3 minutes off of this time. Got passed an awful lot.

Train more on the bike

Thrilled with this time. Dumped the bike put on my shoes and grabbed the race belt. I did have a really good spot between the bike and run exits.

Cramped up pretty bad from the start. Had to slow my pace a bit. Did not like the course with it's multiple loops that tease you past the finish line.
What would you do differently?:

Drink less on the bike, maybe take a couple more enduralytes
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around to bring HR down and went to cheer on the rest of the athletes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor nutrition and not enough training the last couple weeks before the race

Thought that swim time was good. If you are trying to catch Alice, you will have to put a propeller on your butt. Good race!
