A good swim considering I hadn't planned to do it due to a lack of fitness. I would have been happy with anything around 1h 30m.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of fitness. My training has been disrupted for the past 4 months due to travel and a recent illness.

Event comments:

The race started 10 minutes late due to a record number of entrants for a swimming WA OWS event. 4 distances were on offer - 1.25Km, 2.5Km, 5Km and 10Km with over 500 swimmers.

CONSPANKULATIONS KingKat! Super job on short notice and training.

Also, you forgot to put the MAIN reason for your lack of training. Ahem. Because you were busy ... doing other kinds of training. Cough cough
