Comments:

I position myself outside in the deeper water in hope to be away from the waves. It was a great move as I wasn't in the crazyness with everyone else at the start. It was a beautiful swim & weather was perfect. Since it was a swim from right to left and me breathing on my left. It made navigation much easier. It did get a litttle windy at the end and so needed to swim hard against the current. Also had to run on the beach about 100 yards to the finish line.
What would you do differently?:

Pacing! Went alittle hard at the beginning.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being on vacation. Need more conditioning.

Event comments:

As an athlete who shows responsibility by training hard, you'll miss the boat if you are irresponsible with fueling your hard worked body.
