Think I had a pretty good swim. Few sighting buoys and none before the first turn made it difficult
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed the first 100 harder. Pushed well at the end and beat a bunch of folks to the ladder

Got passed on the run from the swim mat into transition by a lot of guys sprinting. Probably 150-200 yards to bikes.
