Great swim for the first swim of the season (pool or otherwise). Sam was worried about it, I was not.
What would you do differently?:

More swim training. Steadier pace. Keep swimming and not looking around so much.

Transition area was immediately after the swim. I set it up perfectly and the only problem was taking some nutrition with me.

Much more focus on bricks.

Event comments:

Swim course had a ton of safety personnel out on the water. Plenty of volunteers out on the course, including the sticky bike portion. After race food provided by Everything Noodles, good food but not great.
