First open water group swim. Started near the back when the gun went off, and was stuck behind slower swimmers. Spent plenty of time in various lakes this summer, but never swam with other people around, and my freestyle was faster than I expected and I kept coming up on people and didn't know how, or want to overtake them.
What would you do differently?:

start in a better place, learn to pass.

Event comments:

First "full" sprint Tri. Loved it. I know I can train more, and do better, but I also pushed myself and was 10 minutes under my goal of 1:45:00 So, all in all, a much better outing than the mini in April.
