Lost count of the lengths. I started the 17th and realised that the swimmers who started with me had finished. Thought 'Something is amiss here...'. Lost 30s.
What would you do differently?:

Count properly. Hate pool-based swim

Nice sprint to start off the season. I might try to make it a regular race every year. The weather was awful but then we are not only good-weather athletes, are we?
