Need to work on navigation. Need to get comfortable and find a race pace rhythm faster.
What would you do differently?:

Work on stretching out, swimming from my core, and pay better attention to navigation.

Swim was a little disorganized. A big boat practically ran over the first wave. But overall a good race.
