Comments:

Pretty happy with my performace as this swim was almost 7 minutes faster than my last pool mile. I did not know what to expect as this was my first "swim only" race. Finished in the middle of the pack so I guess that is pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Gone with my other goggles. I have been having problems with water intrusion with the ones that I used today. Better viz with these but I lost at least a minute screwing around with my goggles.
Post race
Warm down:

None! Bannana and a water...head to Providence and run the RI 70.3 course.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My fat a$$.

Event comments:

This is a great race that raises money for the preservation of the Narrow River. This is their third year and they do a great job organizing the race and getting it off on time. This was a really fast group of people as their were a lot of HS and college swimmers and a whole bunch of upper tier local tri folks.
