Tough swim, I had to fight a lot, I drafted about 1/3 of the time, got of course once, I think I swam through someones vomit, GROSS
What would you do differently?:

I do not know how much better I could have swam given the effort, which seemed about right. Bring my other goggles would have been good (tinted)
