Comments:

It was horrible. I started out too fast, it wasn't until halfway through that I got into a smooth stroke. The course was full of seaweed (I felt like I was getting caught up in it). The way back was into the sun so navigation was very difficult. Then someone in the sprint needs help and the "rescue" boat almost runs over me.
What would you do differently?:

NOT GO and if I did I would go out slower!

Could have ridden faster If I haden't gotten off course and freaked out about it.
What would you do differently?:

Find a race where they have people at turns so I don't miss them!
