Hagg Lake Swim

Hagg Lake swim.
I'm pretty sure the course was long so I'm not so worried about the time. Even sub 1hr swimmers thought they were about 7 minutes slower.
Other than that I learned a couple things:I can free up the restriction on my shoulders by making sure my wetsuit is pulled all the way up. Make sure I free up my arms by pulling the arms up a bit more too.Do not velcro the neck at all.
I can swim with a kick and it still feels very easy. And I can site with barely lifting my head between strokes. I just peak.
I felt very comfortable breathing every 3 strokes but then I also had lots of open water around me.
My HR was avg of 133 for first loop and 135 (when I turned on kicking) for the second loop.
I think to go faster I need to figure out how to pick up the rhythm in my hips and catch the water better.
