Swim went well. I was nervous d/t not training as much in the last month and getting sick the week before. I was singing a song in my head to get my pace. Someone did cut me off to talk with a guy which made me stop. Otherwise it was a good swim & I think faster than tri @ Rancho Seco.

Course: There was a lot of rolling hills & turns (I suck at turns because I get so nervous I will slide & fall so I slow way down). I felt very slow & tight in the legs in the beginning. On the way back I was flying. Maybe some tail wind. Cops were directing traffic & this car went into the biking lane @ a turn on the way back. He stopped until I pass but a girl behind me almost collided with me. I speed up really fast and was glad not to crash.
