Comments:

Very rough water. Decided not to wear a suit as the swim should have been over in 15 minutes, but that was a mistake. The cold affected my breathing more than I anticipated. The waves were kind of jumbled, so the majority of the participants started at the first wave.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice in poor conditions.

Comments:

Steep incline at the exit of T1 and wet conditions forced you to run up the hill with the bike.
