Comments:

As usual, didn't do a very good job of navigating which can be perilous if you wander into oncoming traffic!
Otherwise it was a really good swim for me.
What would you do differently?:

Definitely need to work on navigating especially when I get winded.

Just need to practice more.

Not a bad idea to get a breather and take your time getting set for the run.

Wow! I was really happy with this run and passed quite a few people which is highly unusual for me. No complaints here.
Post race
Event comments:

Really a fun race with great support and a well organized event. The post-race was a lot of fun and there was more to do than the typical race on Oahu. I highly recommend it and would only advise that you get there early to park.
