First 1/2 Good Swim except for going off course. Taught myself to breathe on left side to sight pack on counter-clockwise swims. 2nd 1/2 got swam over and pulled under. Swim time includes uphill run 250 yds to transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get comfortable breathing both sides. Need to swim a little more aggressive.
