about 40 in the wave, it is a shallow lake, so bunching was a problem, i was on people, people were on me, i ended up stopping let the bunch spread out an d then get going, so know this took up maybe 30 seconds of the total swim, plus i struggled with breathing due to m cold, so i recon i could have had a minute off this time

80/120!!!!!!!!!!
