Comments:

water was perfect for the wetsuit. Realized at swim start that my wetsuit was inside out. Had to make a quick change. My sighting was bad. Need to work on that. Also,the finish exit point was a little confusing.
What would you do differently?:

I started later than supposed to. My number was 422 but I started at the 442 spot. I am not sure if that affected my time. My polar said I did the swim 90 seconds faster

I just corrected for the wrong swim time

Thought I would be a little faster because of my marathon training
What would you do differently?:

Finish mat was a little confusing. You had to go to the second mat. That added 5 seconds because I walked between mats. I gave myself credit for the 5 seconds!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need to lose a little weight

Event comments:

Race started about 10 minutes late. Pizza/hot dogs at the end was a nice treat. However,you had to wait in line for 20 minutes to get the food. That was not good.
