Comments:

Totally muffed the swim. It was a group start and I got into a dense knot of people and just couldn't seem to relax and get my stroke to happen. I started breathing every stroke and ended up getting too much air and then couldn't catch my breath.
What would you do differently?:

Start at the back of the pack and calm down. Consider wearing my wetsuit.

I think the swim could have been improved by adding a wave start.
