My best swim despite the cold temperature. I was surprised when I got to transition and realized I was one of the first few in my wave to get out of the water
What would you do differently?:

Start to the inside more.

Lost my new aero bottle in the first mile and turned around to retrieve it. Couldn't get it back in the mount as I watched 8 guys go past me. Lesson learned...don't use new stuff without testing it first!
