Good swim. Drafted off Des the first 200 yds.Strong, fast pace. Lactic acid made my arms heavy last half. Just kept it long & smooth until finish. Only 15 secs. back of Des. Hit the beach at 5'33". First in AG, 2nd in the 40+ wave.

More harder swimming, but I'm happy where I am currently.

Event comments:

I enjoy this race. It's fairly close to home, well organized, & a competitive field. A good early season race to check fittness.
Too bad about no timing chips...everyone likes to know their splits. I took my splits with my watch like in the old days of triathlon.
My biggest pet peave is drafting. I saw a few packs & called one woman a "cheater"(#571). All decked out in Elite gear & obviously drafting...didn't faze her one bit. Oh well, there will always be cheaters.
