Comments:

Swimsuit, water was low 70s and very comfortable, but it was pretty choppy and there was a southerly current. Paced well and didn't fatigue too much, no sharks, as usual found myself alone after a quarter mile and wondering if I'd taken a bad line. The swells may may have justified swimming a bit outside but since I swim left anyway, I usually end up way outside of the pier so was trying to overcome it.

Did not really treat it as a "race" but a training day, especially as I have not been swimming as much as in the past.

Even with the conditions and the slow time, I pretty much ended up where I usually do placing wise, top 30% or so.
What would you do differently?:

First time I did this was 2005. Haven't done this since 2013, so it was nice to be back. Ugly shirts though!
