Pre-race routine:

Not the best pre-race routine. Went to bed quite late the night before since long time friends came to visit. All night I said, it's onyl 2km swim in the morning, no sweat, lets have another beer. This was not a good idea. So I didn't feel that great when I woke up.

Comments:

As mentioned earlier, preparation for the race was pretty bad. Evening with friends the night before that ended too late.

A bit of anxiety at the beginning of the swim and had difficulty to get a good rythm.

Water was a little choppy, so sighting was more difficult than previous races.
What would you do differently?:

GO to bed earlier

Event comments:

Dissapointed by my times, but I definitely know why.

This was a training race for me to get redy for my Oly distance swim next month. SO I acheived my goal of practicing OWS.

Can't wait to be allowed to waer my wetsuit!

Congrats on the swim. I was there so I know the water you were in, don't know how you handled all the weeds - eww.

I think you did great! You took on the challenge and mastered it. More power to you.
