Didn't do as well on the swim as I had hoped. Flip turns might provide an advantage, so I'll have to get with Lance to see what he recommends.
What would you do differently?:

Practice the turns, under the lane dividers, and see what works best.

Warm down:

Walked and was able to get a leg massage, which really helped on my hamstrings.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not biking and running enough. I'm very disappointed with my swim time. I need to practice flipping under the lane "ropes".

Event comments:

Will do it again next year.
