I participated in Ayvalık Cunda island race, the actual distance was 2.2 km, there were young national team triathletes and swimmers around chasing me during the race, i became the 3rd in general ranking and 1st in 40-50 age group. It was a great experience for me before Budapest masters championship. I used my wild technique with no kick but with high cadance stroke rate(80spm). I scored 30:16 for 2.2km, my pace was around 1:23 per 100m.

notes: i swam with high cadance (75 spm) with choppy and slippy sloppy stokes, almost without kicking, legs were high in the water and just trailing behind. There wasnt full extension and glide in my stroke, started to pull as soon as hand reaches the catch point. This provides not a powerful and faster pace but a sustainable swim speed with lower heart rate.
