Completely disoriented and easily put off comfort. Sighting, people blocking, waves, everything threw me off. 25 minutes more than usual.
What would you do differently?:

More open water swimming (swam less than an hour open water). More wetsuit swimming. More practice sighting.

Didn't want to go out too fast, it was getting hot out there. Probably could have sped up a bit. Strong finish.

Event comments:

Great location, great volunteers. Based on my swim performance, a bit past my current capabilities, excellent fit for my friends that I train with and participated here.
