Comments: Start was great no trouble navigating through the masses of people and found a grove pretty early. Raced seemed to take for ever! I think i was the only person in the whole race that went around the last two buoys correctly but no one seemed to care. Would have cut 2-3min off by skipping the last buoys as every one else did. finished strong run up on beach, not much visibility. Looked like i could stand but when I tried I could not even touch; lost some momentum and swam another 10 feet before running through the knee height water. What would you do differently?: went way to slow maybe 60-75%. I left a lot in the tank, I was worried about getting tired and not being able to have enough to finish. I alternated free vs breast towards the end for sighting  Post race
Warm down: none What limited your ability to perform faster: not know what to expect in a swimming race Event comments: not having the times posted after race??? come on! Last updated: 2012-09-30 12:00 AM
