I liked starting in the first wave. Since swiming is not my strongest area, I hung out in the back and started a few seconds after the horn blew. It was smooth swimming for the whole 400 yards.

I really liked starting in the first wave. I had people to compet with and was passed by a lot rather than passing everyone. It pushed me to go harder! I almost caught up to my 15 year old daughter at the finish line!
