The Swimming was straight from one point to the other side of the lake... Jumped into the water without any problem...everybody spreaded out...that not the usual kick and punch combat...very nice and easy swimming...I didn't kill by myself...I was a little tired cuz I couldn't sleep enough...and...I decided to save my energy for my bike and run legs...and...I knew that I usually reach/pass many of the women that beat me in the swimming only running to Transition...that...I decided to take easy...
