Does the walk from the parking lot count? Only went into the water waist deep. Being so far back in the start I was worried about getting cold. It turned out to be quite nice though.

Comments:

I felt pretty good. I sighted much better than last year! I guess I have come to realize that the swim is just so unpredictable. I think positioning is almost more important than conditioning.
What would you do differently?:

Go further out to avoid those breast stroking legs in the face and stomach.

This is such a great course, hills are gradual and the last full mile is down hill. There is no reason or excuse.
Ah, well - more training...
