Comments:

Horrible swim. I am just slow. I bilateral breath in the pool every other stroke, but ended up breathing every stroke. Just need more speed work in the peool and more OWS.
What would you do differently?:

More speed work and OWS. More tris too.

Warm down:

Kept moving, talked to some friends, hydrated.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My swim. Need to work on speed in pool and get more OWS and races in. Hopefully my swim will improve.

Event comments:

Nice setting at Buckroe Beach in Hampton. Transitions area was good. Little bit of a run to transition after the swim, but that was because of the start location taking advantage of the tide/wind. A few rough spots on the bike, but all in all a good course and race. I'll come back.
