Much better than last time. Actually passed some people and kept face in the water. My form broke down several times and I let my HR and breathing climb more than I should have.
What would you do differently?:

Still need to work on calming down and stroking correctly.

Comments:

The bronchitis kicked in when trying to run. On the bike, I could deal. On the run, my right side started cramping up and not in the normal running cramp type of way. Earlier in the week I pulled a muscle from coughing on that side and it acted up. Thought i'd puke or stop, but kept hammering.
What would you do differently?:

Other than get well...
