Comments:

This was a longer swim then my first Sprint Tri. It was intimidating but I feel like I did a better job then my first one. I probably did the entire first half complete front crawl. My second short swim aroung the two outside markers was done with back stroke. Last 1/3 of race was done with combination strokes - front crawl, back stroke, side and breast.
What would you do differently?:

I have to remember to use the de-fog application on my googles. I also have to do a much better job sighting - I stink LOL - and I need to trust myself that I can swim these distance front crawl.

I need to get better and stronger. I also need to learn how mucy energy I can expend on the race course. I feel like I am leaving some speed out there.
