Comments:

had a blast. focused on form and keeping a consistent effort. kicked it for the last 500 or so, happy to have gone sub-40. I was one of the few people there without a wetsuit though.

the super-fast winner of the 2 mile race passed me just before the finish.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.
