Glad no one was on my tail. Never swam faster than 2.5 min/100 in a race before so was pretty happy with the swim time which included a run to the transition mat.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, might go out a little harder. My tendency has been to go out too hard and fade, but I think I maintained my pace throughout the swim.

Broke my 5K PR set a few weeks ago...felt good on the run. No mile markers and no HR monitor so went comfortably hard and it paid off.

Excellent job, Donna! I have to agree that the post race food was excellent!

I really enjoyed this race, my second ever. The pool was the best water I have ever swam in.

Good luck with your Oly and 1/2 IM goals. I have very similar goals for this season, and this race was a great start to it.
