Comments:

Got stuck behind a girl who was swimming the breatstroke for the entire swim. Don't know how she expected to do 6:15. Passed her after about the 150 mark
What would you do differently?:

It seems like everyone puts down an unreasonable time. I'll have to do the same. With all my problems I was faster than one guy who started 80 spots ahead of me.
