Thank GOD for current and wet suit. I just completely lost all composure during the swim and couldn't catch my breath at all. the last 1/3 of the swim I was able to actually swim moderately relaxed and breathing regularly, but jeeezze it was awful.
What would you do differently?:

Definitel would get into the water multiple times (open water that is) prior to race and maybe with some folks around to simulate people being close by. Just need more open water practice.

My best discipline. I felt challenged but never exhausted and just trucked right along. I was a little suprised,actually, that I ran that fast, but I felt good and afterwards was very encouraged as my swim was a little disappointing. This made up for that!
