Got in the water before the race to adjust to temp. Swam around a bit. Tredded a little water.

Comments:

Had a tough time sighting and breathing. I was very diappointed with my swim. I was breathing bi-latterly every 3rd stroke. This was my first open water swim since I changed my swim stroke from the "Tarzan Technique" Found myself out of breath very quickly. I didnt think I went out very hard. Went way to the right of the bouys. Better than my first tri but I still have alot of work to do.
What would you do differently?:

Need to practice more OWS. Sighting especially.
