Comments:

was aiming for 40:00min.
took a GU 20 min before race started.
This was my first half and I was surprised at the noise of 459 people hitting the water at the same time.
3/4 of the first lap was insane. Had to breath on one side instead of bi-latteral just cause I had to keep watching infront of me. On the second loop I had the breathing perfect and made up alot of time.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, great swim for me
