Comments:

I hated the swim course! It is shallow. People walked/ran to the first bouy. Swam a little then walked/ran back in. I tried to swim most of it. I'm sure I would have placed better if more people actually swam the swim course.
What would you do differently?:

Go out a head of the walkers!
