Comments:

For the first 2/3rd of the swim I was doing so well. I was passing people, including a guy that I can never pass at the pool, I thought for sure I was going to go sub 2:00/100m (which for me is great!). But after I rounded the last buoy and to start swimming back to shore I just couldn't make out the buoys in the distance and the swim exist since the sun was right in my eyes. As a result I swam off course quite a bit. At least 100m if not more. Oh well. Them's the breaks. At least I feel very possitive knowing that I was swimming really well.
