Comments:

My first open water swim of the season so I am not complaining. I was calm and in control. Made sure to expel all my breath every stroke so I could take in as much as I could.
Sighting was good.
I swam wide to stay away from getting tangled up with other swimmers.

Event comments:

A solid race day for me. This was a B event and a good way to work out the kinks before IM CDA (in four weeks).

Very pleased with the effort and result. I held back and performed as desired.

Should give me a good boost of confidence heading into the last four weeks of training.
