Ovrall, a pretty poor swim performance after a "surprise" start. Need to work harder at my swim speed, not just endurance.

Tough running in 90 degrees at 100 humidity. Probably took 7-8 minutes off my time.
Post race
Warm down:

Wet home, showered, took 3 Advil and took a nap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat and humidity.

Event comments:

Innaugural race with a few sponsors. Very little food, beverage or goodies after the race. After racing for almost 5 1/2 hours, the announcer didn't even call my name when I finished. The in water start was terribly disorganized and someone just yelled "go' to start my wave. SUPER LAME!!!!
