Comments:

3 swimmers per lane placed by estimated swim time. I was third one in my lane and could not pass the 2 slower swimmers in my lane, could have cut 30-45s off my time.
What would you do differently?:

More agressive in my passing, make the others get out of my way. assert my will.

T1 time included with swim split. transition was 1/2km from pool exit, lost some time putting shoes on out of pool for T run. carpet was over gravel and HS parking lot, Saw glass on the way into pool and I decided not to risk cutting feet.
