Comments:

Very choppy with waves... hard to sight small buoys. Had to swim back for last buoy. Hard to draft anyone with the chop and was mixed in with the slow guys in the wave before within about 5 mins.

What would you do differently?:

Not sure what I could have done better... the conditions were pretty bad and don't think I could have sighted better if I wanted to with the small buoys.

Comments:

Felt good, but never pushed it with my recent knee problems. Thought it was better to hold back and finish, rather than push it and injure myself more.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe pick up the pace just a bit.
