Brief swim warm up before start

Swim

1h 06m 23s
4224 yards
01m 34s / 100 yards

Comments:

Made good use of current and tide information; little to eat before race; concentrated on staying long and on front quadrant swimming, with full body rotation; no kicking until after Ft. Gorges, left me strong at finish; used alternate breathing nearly the entire race

What would you do differently?:

More Body Glide on outside of shoulders, inside of elbows (got badly chafed); better check of goggles before race; too far outside buoy at end of race; should have gone farther into current;

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Still need experience generating higher stroke rate while maintaining efficiency
