Actually swam the entire length. Felt really good. My swim was much slower than I thought. I really took my time and concentrated on ensuring that I could make it.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I just have to continue working on my swimming.

I am not sure why this transition was so slow. I felt like I was just plodding through this portion of the race.

Remember that I need to hurry up. Hurry without rushing.

Ride faster. Not sure. Just didn't have it today.

Practice.

Just a short walk.

Not sure why I wasn't faster. Felt really good going into the event. Really wanted to take it easy but not this easy.
