Not bad, still haven't swam much, but overall fitness isn't bad, was a little different jumping the logs in the swim area, but was fun

Keep up with the swimming, even though I am gaining confidence and swimming/racing better, still tons of room to improve!

Warm down:

Got some water, talked with Trevor and chatted, got results right away (very cool and in real time!)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim work

Event comments:

OZ Endurance is very good at putting these on, just need a standardized distance, but the real time race results are great, especially with TT swim starts.
