ready for open water

40 min swim, inclusive of 24 min 750.
(practised site stroke a bit)

I watched a local triathlon this weekend. Keyed in on swim starts and transitions.
- some of the elites were breathing every second stroke.
- know where to dismount bike. Don't dismount too early.
- one of the swimmers checked out the water departure area; thought that was smart
- ample opportunity to swim warm up
- lots were easing into water on start
- a few were swimming badly off-course
- shouldn't be a problem wearing socks for run (lots were)
- try to set up transition on one of the ends
- some helmets had sunglasses clip, might be quite handy

Very inspiring. Especially watching the elites booking it in swim and on bike. Hope to buy my wetsuit this week. Am anxious to get to open water.
