Good swim, I stayed more midline than usual. I usually get near the cliff and cant usually find the deeper current water. Course was more narrow this year to prevent the DEEP current.
What would you do differently?:

Just swim faster-skinsuit next year?

Event comments:

Ive like this race in the past-it kind of made me a race snob for other races. However, seems ilke they mailed this year in. Argumenative volunteers, weak swag, just felt second hand.
Not sure if Ill be back for #4.
