Comments:

Another horrible swim. Started off bad, and got worse. Couldn't get rhythm going. Had to float on my back a few times. Hyperventilated everytime I tried to put my face back in the water. Kayak came around to help as I was stuggling badly. Almost DNF, but made it back on shore, barely.
What would you do differently?:

Haven't figured out.

Not used to running on trail. Can't get rhythm going. Very hot by then. Exhausted from swim to have a good run. Walked quite a bit.
Post race
Warm down:

Hard to believe, but on my way back home, I remembered that I forgot to put sunscreen on my face!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Couldn't get rhythm going in swim. Totally exhausted after bad swim, so can't get a good bike and run in.

Event comments:

VERY VERY TOUGH DAY for me. Another horrible swim, but I did hang in there and finish. In this respect, it's better than last year when I actually DNF on swim. Last in my age group, haven't been there ever! I keep telling myself DFL >>> DNF >>> DNS. 2 bad races back to back, it can only get better, I hope.
