Swim went well. Very little swim training leading int othis. No wetsuit. Never pushed, but managed to swim straight, turn well. Got tired the last 1/4 of the swim, but managed pretty well. Not too upset with this.

Dropped my pump so this cost me a few sec but I had the fastest T1 in the AG, Not having to take off a wetsuit helped.

Wasn't sure what to expect as I haven't done any hard or fast running in awhile. Tried to just hold it steady, and actually got faster as I went. I wwas beat by the end and this was about as good as I could've done.
