What limited your ability to perform faster:

My performance was pretty much a disaster even though I did not plan on racing it hard. I got what I deserved given my screw ups and lack of training.

Event comments:

Good swim but they had a record number and ran out of food by about 225 swimmers.

Performance:
Wetsuit mixup. By mistake, I brought the wetsuit that Nadia loaned Gloria to tryout. Surprisingly I squeezed into it but it was very difficult to swim in.
Suit: yes
Course: The course is a point-to-point swim along the Ottawa River starting at the Nepean Sailing Club and finishing at the Britannia Yacht Club.
