faster

Sounds like you enjoyed the event. Swim was a nice pace. I understand the point of being conservative on the bike and run never have done the distance before. Something to look forward to next year and then you can really push and gain a ton of time.

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.
