Time doesn't look good but I was right at MOP.
Swim 1: started in back, some bumping (but that's racing), rounded buoys OK. Good Swim
Swim 2: Surf was a bit heavier and it seemed we were swimming against tide/current/wind. I bit tired but well done.

Nice job out there. It is a really interesting format eh. I couldnt quite figure out pacing because you were changing sports all the time, but it kept it fresh.
