Comments:

I was put in a slower wave, because of registering late. So, my plan was to start in front in order to keep from swimming over people. The only problem was that everyone started really fast and I used up too much energy trying to stay out front. I was able to settle down and get my stride.
What would you do differently?:

start in the middle of the pack and keep a steady pace
Transition 1
  • 03m 57s
