Pre-race routine:

Got up, showered, ate. Picked up Tracy and off to the race.

This was easy and very low key as it was only a ows race.
Event warmup:

Got in 3 min before time to line up. Just got wet. Water felt good. 74 at the shore, 71 deeper water. Perfect :)

Comments:

Started wide as everyone was bunched tight at the line. Thought I had a ton of open water right away. I did, I was way wide. Coming up to the first turn buoy I was at least 25m wide. Swam in, but still was wide. Never really got back on course until the very end.....like 25m from the mat.
What would you do differently?:

Obviously work on sighting.
Post race
Warm down:

Just hung out with Tracy, Doug and Mike.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sighting. Was a little sore from Thursday's swim workout, but sighting was a much bigger issue today.

Event comments:

I liked this race. Low key, but had some good swimmers there. Great ows practice.
