Comments:

My best OWS to date. Felt good in the water whole time. There was plenty of room to pass people. The final 90 degree turn home got bogged down with slower swimmers. I got out of the water and was not that winded.
What would you do differently?:

I am not sure. I did and open water swim two days prior and got my confidense. My training in the pool with touch and turn and not kicking helped tremendously.

Consider putting the race belt on durring the second transition.

I took 12 minutes off of last years time. There is still room for improvement on the run.

Event comments:

The race is becomming the premire first race of the season, as the race director stated he is shooting for. There are plenty of activities and is becomming a family event. I live in Galveston and it is so helpful to see so many friends and people volunteering at the event.
