Comments:

The swim seemed short to me. Maybe because I swam a PR! Very crouded, I had a lot of contact but a great swim! Fastest ever. Even in the pool!
I was one of the few with a wetsuit, I have only been swimming for a year and a half. I could have swum without it, but I really do think I am faster with.
What would you do differently?:

Try to be more towards the front to avoid the crowd
