Good swim, no problems navigating, nor did I get in the pack and get swam over. I stayed out of the mix to the left and had a pretty good line to the buoy.

Event comments:

They've been doing this race for a long time and have it down to a science. The only negative is the start for the short course where we had to wait for a long time to get a few lifeguards in place. This happens all the time, so I would think they could do something to fix that? Other than that, I love the course, the volunteers, etc.
