Comments:

Felt pretty good for first half of race, then started to get tired. Left arm definitely felt weak towards end of swim. Felt pretty much like I did last week at Columbia.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, besides train more.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to work more on breathing every other stroke and smoothing out that technique. I can swim much more evenly when breathing bilaterally, but every other stroke screws me up. Also need to work on endurance.
