Comments:

Swam much better than usual - and longer distance of 1/2 mile for first time. Not having wetsuit made big difference. Got into a rythym and swam better on outside.
What would you do differently?:

Too far from bouy and had to redirect. Get better at sighting. Get a faster start. Train more for swim to handle distance with speed.

Came into T area wrong side and knocked over bike. lost time on getting socks on and shoes. put helmet and glasses on first then shoes?
