Swim felt awesome. Forced myself to slow down and just find someone to draft off of. It worked great. I felt comfortable the whole way. Maybe 1500m is possible!

Absolutely nothing....my best swim of the year. It felt easy.

Warm down:

Felt terrible. Pushed to hard on the run. Took me 2-3 days to recover.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of power on the bike. Slow performance on the run inspite of it being my PB time for 7K.
