Comments:

Was very cold.
Took until the bridge to find my mojo and settle into a comfortable pace - I probably went out too fast over the first ~200m.
Cut my foot in the park pre-race. Ouch!
What would you do differently?:

Sort my goggles out - kept fogging up.
Try not to cut my foot before the race!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Goggles kept fogging up.

Event comments:

Good result for my fist proper open water / 1500m swim. Happy with the effort.
