Comments:

Just really wasn't focused on form during the swim. Wasn't wanting to push it due to back strain earlier in the week. I did flip the turns at far end, but touched edge and went under lane ropes with no turn at start end.
What would you do differently?:

FOCUS!!!

I knew this would not be a good time with having to put long sleeve shirt on while I was wet. Then put cover on ears. Did wear just shorts on bike.
