Comments:

Didn't like swiming with the For Fun wave. Too many people. People hitting me. People back stroking, it was craziness out there. I wasted too much energy trying to get around people instead of swimmming.
What would you do differently?:

Swim with age group.

Felt good. I had lots of energy getting into the run, but my calves did feel really tight.

Had to stop and strech once. But despite the tightness of the calves, I think I ran pretty fast.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, tried to catch my breath. Stretched legs.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Newness to sport. Having chaotic swimmers around.

Event comments:

Good first tri. Straight forward course. Since I'm writing this after the fact, I feel like it was easy, but at the time it was definitley challenging. But felt more doable due to the nature of the course.
