Comments:

I wandered off course a few times. My drafting sucked for the first 1000m as well as my stroke was poor for the first 1000m
What would you do differently?:

I need to settle down into my good stroke earlier. Sight more often.

I ran very well. I am very happy with this run

Warm down:

Ate some cookies and caught my breath.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My OWS experience seemed to be reset to rookie. I need to get out there and get used to it again.

Event comments:

I am a big fan of the casual, small scale and just fun these races are. Great Race!
