Comments:

had my best swim ever, i shaved 8 minutes off of last year swim at this race. i went in the water about 20 seconds after the start but next year i am definitely going to start in the front. i was very relaxed in the water even though it was pretty crowded for the first 200 meters.
What would you do differently?:

start in the front of the pack next time, that would of saved me at least a full minute.
