I had a very bad swim, I was standing in the water with my goggles on my head when the horn sounded. I went too far around the bouyes and had a hard time spotting as I was swimming...terrible time. I did spend a lot more time in the pool and expected to do better.
What would you do differently?:

Swim in the ocean more to feel more comfortable.
