use being alone!
after a few minutes, i find myself moving up to the front. soon i’m right next to the top girl and passing her. wow, thanks jesus! i put my head down and rely on my straight swimming to get ahead and avoid being a draft for someone else. i notice i’m drifting today to the right a bit. i make sure i look up to keep myself on track.
after turning at the first buoy, it looks like i have a good gap. i focus on pulling the water and keeping my head down as i swim to the next buoy. i am amazed at how strong i feel.
