Comments:

Swim went pretty well, perfectly clear, flat ocean water. felt a little slow but I'm pretty sure swim was against the current, as I could feel the current carrying me during warmup, but no so much in swim in opposite direction. overall swim times were slower for all from last year.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, just work on technique to improve overall speed.

Nice improvement...   It was a great day out there and ocean was very kind to most the swimmers yesterday morning.   Swim did feel a bit long or perhaps it was the current.   Took me a good 2 minute longer that last time...

pretty sure it was the current.  i recalled later that at the turn buoys, the anchor ropes were stretched such as a south flowing current.  other than that, one of the best ocean swims i've been in.

Hmm...I replied to this earlier but it's not on here now.

 

Anyway, nice job - you are fast!  I heard a few people complaining about the swim.  One lady coming out of the water right behind me said she thought we were going against the current.  Then after the race I heard a few people saying they thought the course was probably long.  These were the type of people, unlike me, who know almost exactly what their time for 1/4 mile should be and they were saying they were 3-4 minutes slower than normal.  Some said they thought it was 1/3 mile.

It was a beautiful morning for a swim, though!

The swim measured .41 miles on one friends Garmin and .39 on another. Regardless, the conditions were a close to perfect as could could imagine. It's a fun race, but I thought they really cheaped out this year by only awarding the first place finisher....especially since it was the 20th anniversary of the race.
