Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Some shorter type training but mainly mental. Getting ready for IMLP and didn't put out the best effort.

Event comments:

One of my favorite races.
REALLY had issues with shallow water and I'm not sure why they dont do better with Buoys.
Need to line them up and keep swimmers away from shore line.
