Comments:

Could have improved in race start. The set up was to round a pier and then swim parallel to the shore to the next pier 2 miles away. Because this was my first race, I didn't really have a strategy to swim around the first pier and my goggles fogged up as well. After rounding the first pier people spread out more so afterwards I was on my own for a good portion. At the end of the race, coming in after rounding the 2nd pier I got a charley horse/cramp in my right calf which delayed my entry onto the shore for a good 5 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Prepare better for start of race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cramp in calf, first timer experience, inability to swim straight
