Comments:

Good swim...I have difficulty getting my breathing normal when the water is cold. I probably breast-stroked here and there until the first boey. Then found a good rhythm. I did much betterthan White LAke two weeks a ago.
What would you do differently?:

Try to get my face in the water and get breathing underway right from the start. I seem to waste a bit of time every race getting in the groove.

Event comments:

Great race...Set-up always does a good job. It stinks that it rained so hard a the end...would have liked to hang out and see the awards and mingle a bit...but family was with me and we were all cold and soaking wet.

Nice job on your race, especially under less than ideal conditions. It figures that the sun came out just as they started doing awards.
Nice job.
