Slippery Newt #3 2003 - Swim

![]() Swim
Comments: I was second in my age group for the 2500 meters but most of the contestants swam the 5K. What would you do differently?: Swim harder all the way. In open water it's possible to really get a good rhythm going and swim very fast. I felt much faster on the way back, I guess I was conserving energy on the way out. ![]() Post race
Warm down: None, just got out and waited to see the other finishers. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not having done this distance before, I just wasn't sure about my stamina. Event comments: After the race there was food (Fried chicken) but it took a long time to appear. The awards were the same for everybody and the officials accidently thought I had competed in the 5K and were stunned by my time until I told them that I was in the 2.5K race.

I really don't have one, except to get in the water to get used to the temperature and do some warmup swimming.
I got in the water and did some short freestyle swims and some breaststroke.
