Comments:

Well - I started out well but about 500 yards my heart rate was 181, had to grab the boats to bring it down - could not get in a good rhythm until the last 400 - got in a good stroke - was looking at 30 minutes so not bad overall
What would you do differently?:

Practiiiiiiiiiice - I swim so well in the pool - do some OWS practice

I decided to walk some to bring down my heart rate, we did have some distance from the beach to the Transition area.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming and Running - practice more. My goal for this race was 3 hours - missed but am pleased for doing my first OLY. Great prep work for the 1/2 iron in October.

Event comments:

Very good but we did not start on time - the sprint went first then the OLY. The Sprint was about 10 minutes late. They did have me in the wrong class but no big deal. Pleased with the swim and now I know what to really work on for the Longhorn.
