Comments:

swim felt o.k. lots of drama with someone from our wave struggling shortly after the start and yelling for help. THEN someone was like a gnat round me. ALWAYS too close either on my right or right in front. had to try really really hard to not swear.
What would you do differently?:

lose the gnat.
