Comments:

I had a good steady swim but I was a bit disappointed with my time; since it was my first 2km ocean swim I concentrated on being comfortable and having a relaxed stroke but maybe next time I need to push myself harder.
What would you do differently?:

Have a light breakfast and coffee, swim harder once in my rhythm
Post race
