Comments:

The wind kicked up and it got quite choppy in Lake Erie. The swim our to the bouy sucked, but the swim back was much better. I was able to keep a rhythm and gt my breathing down pretty good. Not sure if it was just nerves at the start, but I really felt slow and a realy bad swimmer for the start.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more in open water and be more prepared for current changes. Focus more on bilateral breathing.
