Good swim, but I wasn't swimming in a straight line. Somehow, I went from way to the left to way to the right. Who knows how that happened?? I was happy with my time though.
What would you do differently?:

Swim straighter.

Good run. I thought I was moving slow, but it turns out that I wasn't. I haven't done really any speedwork this season, so I'm happy with my run.
What would you do differently?:

Do some speedwork so I can get faster.
