Great sswim. I went out on the far right side adn realyl sighted well. The beginning there were a bunch of girls collecting in one area, so I moved over to the right. Swan really straigh,t but this girl on my left kept coming accorss into me, every time I moved over, so swam at an angle..I finally let her pass me and she jsut kept swimming off course...I then kept at it and ran out athe the edge ..Felt so gerat on this!

Had a tough time keeping my heartrate down adn my breathing in check., But UI promised myself I would put it all out there today. I looked at my garmin a few times and saw I was runngi a decent pace for me. So, I didn't want ot stop . I knew it was such a short run, so I jsut did shallow breathing (couldn't get deep breaths at all) and trucked along

Awesome job.  All 3 disciplines have really come along nicely for you.  Amazing that your T1 and T2 times are exactly the same.
