this was a good transition. First time with wetsuit, had an easier time with getting suit off than anticipated

Forgot to untie running shoes-I need to get elastic shoe strings

No warm down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Engine-this was a huge improvement over my first race, I still need to get faster at the run and bike. I moved from the BOP to the MOP+. This was a fun race even after the fears of the lake and the water temperature.
