Notes
Water temp was somewhere between 72 and 76 degrees and was a perfect temp. Didn't use a wetsuit. I was in the last heat and tried to get to the front left of the group.
Felt really great the whole swim. Was able to keep my head down for 4 strokes often. Tried to use more power on the last leg with arms and legs and wish I would've used more arm power earlier in the swim.
The beach start/end made it super easy to get in and out of the water. Ran out of the water into the transition area totally happy.
