Got out to the side and found clean water right away. Was in the lead pack to the first turn and then started running into swimmers from the 1st wave doing the breaststroke. Actual swim time was better as this time included a 500 yd run to the timing mat at transition.
What would you do differently?:

Took a better angle to the first turn.
