Comments:

Had to tell a teenager to quit crossing my path. She was zig zagging all over and I had to stop. There was tons of room so she just couldn't swim straight. I feel pretty confident I will do ok at Honu as I guessed my swim time would be 51 min. Felt thirsty though halfway through. Second half I pushed my pace more but I never went balls out the whole race.

Small low budget local race. Half the entrants didn't use fins
