Comments:

Horrible swim. Don't think I did anything right. Went out the first 25 too fast. Couldn't get back to swimming. It was very bad showing.
What would you do differently?:

I am at a lost about what I could have done differently. I am back to needing a coach/master swim class.

Comments:

Shirt stuck as I tried to get over my head. But over all I think it was pretty good. Felt faster than it was according to the clock.
What would you do differently?:

Tape GU to bike instead of placing in helmet. Need to look at getting atri shirt instead of trying to put on a shirt.

Pretty good ride. The course was hilly but I was able to maintain pace and cadence.
What would you do differently?:

Not worry about Garmin and just take off.

Unclip my shoes before getting to the dismount line. Able to run barefooted and get started easily.

Ensure that I mark my rack. Went to the wrong rack.

Your bike will catch up to your run with time and if you can just manage the swim you will have some serious fast finishes.  Plenty of speed on the run already!  Congrats on the finish and go find a masters class to work on your swim.

You clearly shine in the run. That's a tough run course and you smoked it! I'm a terrible swimmer too. I'm taking a swim clinic in July from OSB Multisport. The bike will take care of itself with more time in the saddle.
