Good swim, pool swims are not my favorite, too worried about passing or getting passed. 1st 100 I tried to just relax and not get the heart rate too high. Ended up passing 2 people towards the end.

Comments:

Maybe a little rusty on the transistion. Left shoes outside the pool to run to T1, worried about the pounding on the knee. Forgot to unbuckle shoes, had a hard time getting them on.
What would you do differently?:

Probably could have skipped the jacket.

Pitiful run, I knew I was taking it a little bit easy, kept thinking about the long run on Sunday that I had to do and did not want to push it and do anything stupid.
What would you do differently?:

Suck it up and run faster. Knee felt fine, that was not the problem.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched, went back in to watch some of the later swimmers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The run, kinda knew that going in.
