Comments:

Need to swim more in open water. I had some problems with the chop which was screwing up my breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more swimming in open water. Look into a wetsuit, although the water was warm enough in this race.

Comments:

Took my time putting everything I had on.
What would you do differently?:

Would have been nice to have my shirt already on under wetsuit, but I don't own a wetsuit so swimming in a shirt is pointless.

Not sure

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Got sick on friday, spent saturday in bed. Not really sure if I should have done this race. Little dissapointed with the times, but overall happy with the effort on the day.

Need to practice open water swimming, especially in choppy water.

Event comments:

I like this course and it's close. Wish the weather cooperated better.

Happy with my effort.
