Comments:

My 5k split was 1:16:23.3 which is just under 2m slower than my best 5k at that venue. My 10k time was about 8m faster than my previous best 10k fresh water swim at Lake Toba, Indonesia.

Overall not too bad for a week after Ironman but I still would have liked to go faster.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of swim training and maybe Ironman a week earlier.

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.
