Pre-race routine:

I was up pretty early, just part of my normal routine. I packed my stuff, allot lighter than going to a tri, and I was off.
Event warmup:

I got shoved into doing a 400 free relay, it was supposed to be fun,not!
My teamates were fast, two were sub 1 min,the other was close to me. We came in second 4:27, my split was a 1:15, I am not much of a free sprinter, I enjoy my nice comfortable 1:30 pace much more!

Comments:

Had a great start and pullout, did not find a good rythm until the last 50. Kick was average, I felt it could have been stronger. I just missed qualifying for nationals, I needed a 38:48, I got a 38:89,that sucks but it was a good effort for my first meet of the year and lack of breast swimming.
What would you do differently?:

Better start,turn,kick.
Post race
Warm down:
