Pre-race routine:

Got up and drove over with visiting cheerleader, Hope. Got bike checked out. Had banana and luna bar and tea.

Event warmup:

Did some swimming in the lake, til my breathing was even. Got out and stretched. Prayed with fellow participant, Elaine.

Swim

11m 28s
400 meters

Comments:

Other swimmers were really pissing me off in this race. It seemed like there was always someone getting in my way. This time was 2+ min slower than I can swim it. Frustrating.

What would you do differently?:

I don't know. Maybe start wider. I'd rather swim a little longer without being interrupted.

I'm not sure all my numbers are right here. Need to check.
Felt great for running! Found my pace and kept it. Even pushed myself some. Though I wish I could improve my pace substantially! Working on it!
