Comments:

Got bashed around. And swam around 350m rather than 300 but all good. Was hard to get my breath to be honest and I only really settled into a solid stroke when i was near the end. Guess thats what happens when you are used to swimming longer distances.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.

What would you do differently?:

not spew while putting on my shoes.

Post race
Warm down:

walk around the tri area.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was not really at my peak this race. It was done as a bit of fun with a group of mates. And fun i had. It was fun pushing hte body that hard and fast. I guess in long course races you find your comfort zone and push on. But today i had to keep pushing because i really didn't want tim to catch me and knew he couldn't be far behind me.

Event comments:

SO. MUCH. FUN!
