Comments:

I felt I did poorly in the swim, couldn't get any good rhythm going, Montrose pool definitely diffent than swimming in the Hot Springs. Less dense water. This pool was hard to get out of when done swimming.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe swim a couple of times in a cold water pool prior to tri in a different pool

Post race
Warm down:

rested for a little then waited for Linda to get back from bike part, then ran the run course with her again.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough quality training, not enough bricks or time on the bike, no speed work on the run training
