Comments:

This swim was good except so many people bunched together made it feel like we were cramped on top of each other. This lasted half way through the swim and especially around the bouy. After that, the swim opened up a bit. This was my first ows tri.
What would you do differently?:

Be more agressive at the start and during the first half of the swim.
