Oceanman 5km

I had no idea why I was so slow. Anyhow my Garmin says 6.437km in 3:19. Official was 3:20

It was a swim around the perimeter of the lake. Guessed I swam to close to the shore which made the circumference bigger for me to swim.

Its the longest distance I have swam in my life. Disappointed YES!  But move On!
Joined just to give my self confidence that I can swim 3.8km.
