I haven't done much swimming lately, so this was pretty good considering. I can go faster, but I've been focusing on the bike, and the run to some extent.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more in training.

Good transition. Seems long because there is about a 40 yard straight up a steep hill run from the water to transition.
