Actually really happy with the swim. I know its not fast but it was for me. I've never broke 20 min for this distance and I can tell it was better just by coming out with the pack. usually I'm after the main pack.
What would you do differently?:

Try to actually push myself and focus more on stroke.

quick jog and played with keegan and the wife at a little playground.

Event comments:

Great race and great venue. I rate it a 4 only because post race they had no one watching bikes 2 miles away. My wife simply walked up and got my scott plasma while I was at awards. How do they know that is her bike? she wasn't a racer, nor did she have my number or anything. This was their only mishap.
