I liked the time, but the more I look at this the more I don't like what I see. A few things I noticed.
I felt like I had a great reaction time, but by the time I break the surface the guy two lanes over has already taken a stroke and is a yard ahead. I kni it's hard to tell without seeing the underwater, but did I go too deep/stay under too long?
Obviously did not go down the center of the lane, that's a problem.
Looking at my stroke the way back it looks to me like I am taking my arms out of the water too far, driving my head down and creating a "V" Am I seeing that right? If that's the case, what drills can I do to fix that in practice.
Anything else?

I don't think you stayed under too long. What was that, 3 or 4 SDK's?
One suggestion: it doesn't appear as though your hands are coming together underneath your body. Your thumbs should nearly touch each other. Watch this underwater vid of Phelps' fly:

From my experience, this is a common problem. Since it's underwater and under the body, coaches don't always see it or even know to correct it. I can't tell where your hands go clearly, so they might be fine...but based on the video, the path your hands take don't appear to be coming together.
