Dead last in AG, but I didn't drown. Even though I finished last, I feel pretty good about it.
What would you do differently?:

I could have pushed a little harder on the swim, but it was my longest openwater swim to date.

I need to buy a new helmet so I don't have to wear a bandana under it. I fumble with that thing every time.
