Comments:

I had fun doing this race. GOod practice for my tri-.

What would you do differently?:

Know that I should start easy and bvuild up. I have learned that my adreniline gets going at first and I lose my breath fast. Then at about 600 yds, I got my pace. I need to start at get my breathing and pace under control ealier. Finish the race properly!!!

Great race! It's very cool that you're doing OW races in preparation for triathlon swims. If you can handle those, tri swims are cake. Nice job!
