Pre-race routine:

Stayed at Holiday Inn with daughter the night before.
Got to the site about 7:30. Checked in, biked rack and set up transition.
Met my family and then met up with friend Ann to get wetsuits on and swim 500m to the start of the swim.
Event warmup:

Swim to start was great! The water wasn't too cold.

Comments:

I felt so good in the water. Swam the entire race freestyle. In my previous races, I ended up doing some breast strokes due to a bit of anxiety.
I was happy with my swim until I looked at my watch...I wasn't as fast as I thought.
But overall I felt good with the swim.
