Comments:

Had trouble in my last swim so kept this one very metered. Stood on the beach while and gave the rest of the wave a head start. Swam mostly on the outside and my GPS put me at 1.1 miles. Thought my lines were reasonable, maybe the swim was long. Was getting confused by sighting the marina. Could have had a better line here I think.

Push harder down the back stretch
