Comments:

Basically found a person to swim beside, then just matched his stroke and stayed with him. I could have caught a fast swimmer or a slow swimmer, but I didn't care. I did this so I didn't have to work very hard or do any sighting. T1 time included in swim. Swim exit was a long way from the bike entrance.
What would you do differently?:

Feel better and put forth more of an effort.
