First open water swim. DIFFICULT stuff.

Mentally prepare a little more.

Felt dazed coming out of the water, and T1 took WAY longer than planned. Now I know better.

Swim to bike transition was not easy, took a while to get my land legs back. Felt better after first few kilometers.

Easy transition, considering I don't have bike shoes and I was riding with running shoes already on.

Easy run, happy that I could keep a relatively up-tempo pace, at least for me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not mentally or physically prepared enough for the swim, and I forgot my timing chip anklet. Petra had to run back and get it for me, and I was right into the water after that, so not enough time to relax on the beach. Other than that, it felt good, T1 was a little off, but once I got onto the bike, things calmed down and I could get myself oriented and ready for the rest of the race. Got passed a lot on the bike, but I wasn't worried. No one passed me on the run. Well, maybe one or two people, but I did the majority of the passing.

Congrats! I didn't know there were other BTers out there other than Matt (tri_sport19) and Mike (mscotthall). That was a tough swim and your run kicked A$$. Awesome job!
