What can you focus on in your next triathlon swim or open water swim to hold a faster pace?

I did my first 70.3 distance event recently in Ballarat, Australia. I swum 22:44 for the 1.9km and was the fastest age grouper and 5th overall out of the water.

There are a few things I was thinking about during the swim that helped me have a good race, hold a strong pace and come out of the water feeling relatively fresh which I share in this podcast.

02:34 – Sight and breathe method
03:10 – The Rhythm
