This was a pretty tough swim. It was very choppy and longer than they said it would be. I did pretty good, but I got a bit off course due to the strong current.
What would you do differently?:

Pay more attention to the current and sight more when it is really choppy

There was a 1/4 plus mile run to transition so I put shoes on at the beginning of the tunnel which helped me run much better. The T1 split includes the run. I had a pretty good transition

Event comments:

This was my best race so far. I felt really good going into the race, I knew I was well prepared and ready to do my best. I did my taper right and I have been eating really good and getting lots of extra rest. I knew I was going to have a great race and I did. I beat a lot of people who usually beat me. My secret goal was to go under an hour and I just missed it by 27 seconds!

first of all, your tri suit is smokin' !!!  Guess that's good b/c you were on fire for your race!  Great job.  The little tradewinds lake swim will be a piece of cake for you-just don't swim over me and leave me to drown in the slimy lake (I'd rather be buried at sea!)

What a great job on your first A race of the season! I am so very proud of all your hard work and dedication. You made some tough decisions that were hard to follow through with, but you did so with maturity and humbleness. You are an inspiration to me every day!
