I think this was my best swim. I felt pretty good. I got off on a fast start and kept my pace very well.
What would you do differently?:

Breathing was a little fast at the end and I should have slowed down a bit

Event comments:

There were no drinking stations which was a bummer. The post race activities were good and there were plenty of cool stations to relax and buy Tri-gear.The finish medal was such a cool medal. I just wish I would have qualified for the nationals but I missed it by 4 spots. Oh well, I'll try again next year.
