Water was choppy. Got choked a little early and the old panic attack set in. Really wanted to quit, but there wasn't a kayak close by. So, I started back swimming freestyle and calmed down a bit. Was fine as long as I was swimming freestyle. If I ever stopped to look around or lost my rythm, I got scared again. After, I rounded the last buoy to head back to the shore I was fine. Spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get out of the water. Forgot all about form and efficiency, swam for survival.

Run
  • 28m 21s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Legs felt good for such a hard bike. Really had no expectations for the run because I really haven't been training for short distance speed. I did beat my time from last year and rode the bike much harder beforehand. Was so happy with my bike time, I just enjoyed the run.
What would you do differently?:

Actually train for 5K pace.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fear of the water and not enough swim drills. Also, not enough 5K pace training.

Event comments:

This is a great race. It's very laid back and a lot of fun.
