Could not get into a rythm. I placed myself infront to practice being in a larger crowd for next weekend. I was constantly bumping or tryin to avoid people that I never got into a great stroke. I'll have to navigate better and try to get a clearing. Swim time includes the almost mile run up to transition.

Try to break clear. Not lay may goggles down and forget them.

I took wet suit off before the mile jog up to transition. I also swam with my bike jersey on and clipped on a race belt instead of trying to put on a shirt when wet. This worked much better.

For some reason my feet were really sweating- I guess it was just hotter than normal. Socks were hard to get on.

Felt like led- Not surprised at my split. I did not eat a gel - due to being over fueled at the last sprint I did. I didn't take into consideration the heat. I would have benefitted from the boost, and probably should have popped 2 more enduralytes. It was hot.

The only bad thing about this race it the run from the water back to the transition.
