Great swim. I felt really comfortable in the water. My new wetsuit was awesome! I think I was one of the first five women out of the water. New googles were great too.

I think you got third by 18 seconds. And technically you got second if you look at the times posted. That other chick got kicked out and moved to overall. And I have to say I strive to swim like you. Great job!!! And as much as I look like a dork in that one pic. I still love it. We're cool
Peace.

Great race.  Excellent bike speed, especially on someone else's bike.
