10K - 2 hrs, 31 minutes, 9 seconds.

1:30.69 per 100 meter pace.

I don't think I could have swum it much better on this day. Buuttt, rehashing the swim today makes me realize that I still have work to do on my stroke.

With 1.5 miles left, I think I really found my stroke. At that point, my upper body was just burning and all I could think of was holding form. Good extension, streamline, elbows out, pull through. I let my right elbow drop for a while when I'd get tired for the first few miles. I kept it high for that last mile and a half, though, and really started to feel my right arm getting good water.

My legs were not tired at all when I was done. I need to start doing more kicking during workouts and try to re-integrate my kick back into my full stroke.
