I was a pretty good swim for me. I know that I had TERRIBLE FORM, and probably cost myself some time being sloppy.

swkbkrun, you noted in your report that the water was 65°F. Did the race organizers announce that data? The water seemed VERY cold to me. I've been swimming in Lake Washington, Lake Meridian, and Angle Lake this Spring and hadn't felt anything as cold as Deep Lake.
Thanks
