Comments:

swim felt good, didnt push it, breathing and strokes consistant the whole time. Had to slow down because of the guy ahead of me, able to pass at the next lap.
What would you do differently?:

In retrospect, I think I could have swam faster but I felt really good. I actually thought I might have cheated because the second half of the swim went by so fast, I am usually dying between 150-250. I was behind the right people so I know I didnt miscount the laps. Quite a suprise actually since I was dreading it.

Need to ride a little faster- wasnt sure if i would have enough left for the run
