....The chop and current at the turn on the swim was crazy. I was towards the back of the pack and saw a lot of people getting pulled out by kayaks. .....Is it posted anywhere how many people DNF'd the swim? I had a lot of trouble in the chop after the first turn. The two people who were in the metal boat (I think) along that stretch spotted me doing the doggy paddle and gave me the thumbs up/down to see if I was OK, I convinced myself not to call them over but it was close, that was my worst open water swim experience ever!
