Comments:

Pretty good race for me, really wasn't expecting to win my age group, a lot of great swimmers on this island, the muddy yucky water probably discouraged a lot of swimmers this year.
What would you do differently?:

find cleaner water to get a better warm up, my arms really need a longer warm up so they are not so tight for the race
Post race
Warm down:

walk and talk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

too short of a warm up...

Event comments:

fun annual swim, better when the water is crystal clear though!
