I was in Wave 16. started off on the wrong foot in the mixed wave with W 35-39 + clydesdales and M/W mountain bikes. sorta frustrating. the swim is my strongest but felt like i never got a good pace going off the start swimming over huge dudes. shouldn't have worn a wetsuit and i did.... blah blah. excuses.
by the time i was off my bike and running it felt HOT. and i'm not one to get overheated, which was the frustrating part. at least it's helpful to hear that others were having a tough time... even though i still feel like a wimp.

Why do you think you shouldn't have worn a wetsuit? I admit I felt a little toasty in mine, but the buoyancy saved my ass when the waves picked up. (I had trained at Ohio Street and never had waves that were or seemed that big).
