Had tons of fun with the swim. Swam the first 25 yds with head up. Didn't have any problems. Passed a ton of people.
What would you do differently?:

I could have done this faster. I wish that I had started up front so I didn't have to swim threw so many people.

Make sure that my food is ready to go. Tie shoes better.
