This was my best swim so far at this distance. Slowly but surely my time is coming down and eventually i'll crack the 30 min mark.
What would you do differently?:

I did a really poor job finding feet. Drafting would've been nice.

I picked bad wetsuit peelers. I would have been better off doing it myself.

Event comments:

This is the third time I've done this event and it was by far the best it has been run. Things were efficient and smooth all weekend. They even ordered perfect weather for us this year. Great job to everyone involved and thanks to all the volunteers.
