Quite choppy with starting/finishing surf. This is the roughest water I have ever raced in. I got a big mouthful of water right off the bat, and never felt like I settled into a routine. I had a hard time sighting.

Fun race. I got a medal! Even though I was 2 minutes slower than last year (the swim killed me) I ended up with a medal this year whereas I was 6th last year. Just reminds me that I cannot control who else shows up to race!
