Pre-race routine:

Comments:

I have been training for IMFL and it showed the 1st 200 yards as I felt out of gas. Got my act together and felt much better the last 300.
What would you do differently?:

Not listen to the guys in my wave who claim they swim 8 min/per 500 and let them start ahead of you. I passed both of them in the 1st 100 yards.
