Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4:50 am, ate a piece of bannana bread, got ready to go. Arrived at about 6:15 am forgot my breakfast bar in the car so I went without. Checked in set upo my gear and waited at the pool.

Swim
  • 06m 14s
  • 328 yards
  • 01m 54s / 100 yards
Comments:

the first 100 meters were good then we got backed up the rest of the time and it was too crowded to pass.
What would you do differently?:

I would have reported a bit faster swim time and got placed up a bit. I started at place 175 with a reported time of 6:00. I ended up slowered beacuse of about 4 of us getting backed up. I think I could have done about 5:45 and should have reported such.
