Comments:

This was a good swim for me, and I'm really pleased with my time. It was beautiful, and it was nice just to get out there and swim.

What would you do differently?:

Get comfortable with mass starts. I don't like them. I was getting beat up a little bit, and made my way to the side of the masses. That cost me some time, and I wasn't able to draft off of people.

Post race

Warm down:

Eat and talk with my family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of nerve.

Event comments:

Do it if you get the chance!
