This was my worst swim ever. I went to slow at the first 750. On top of that my sighting was terrible and I kept getting off course
What would you do differently?:

Push myself a little harder and make sure I pay attention to my sighting

So I know it's slow but this is the fastest I have ever run a 10k. In the future I would like to be faster but for now I'm happy with this time
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was a weird race for me. Even though I set some records for myself on the run and bike I was the very last person to cross the finish line. I realize this was because there were so few competitors but I felt really disappointed by my time.

Overall I have to remember I'm competing against myself and not everyone there

Hey! Great job. And yes, the swim was wretched. I couldn't see a thing either.

Congrats on the 10k PR!

My First Olympic Triathlon

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

Experts agree, doing a “mock,” triathlon on the course you’re racing can aid you in your training; performance and most of all quell some nervous energy.
