Started to the far left on the start and got pushed out a little wider than I would like to. Had to speed up a bit to get inside After rounding the first bouy it was stop and go as we were swimming into high traffic and toward the sun. People kept stopping and this would cause a chain reaction. Finally got some open water on the swim in and swam until my fingers hit the ground.

A little slower than I would have liked but satisfied

Got passed a lot but felt like I was moving okay. My watch crapped out so I had no idea of pace. Run comfortably hard and then lengthened my stride on the downhill

with a half mile to go I pushed a little harder. Maybe left a little extra in the tank
