Pre-race routine:

last long swim before Bay Swim, first OWS of the season. ate my pre-race breakfast of GF mac and cheese with turkey, downed some iced tea and some water.

last long swim had to be more than 1 mile... so I swam 4 miles before the race.

Comments:

took 10 minutes off my PR. swim clinic + training for a looong race have paid off.

What would you do differently?:

probably would be faster if my "warmup" wasn't 4x the race distance. oh, should have worn sunscreen. doh!

Post race

Warm down:

drank a VERY good IPA. sat on the grass.
