Comments:

Only good thing about swim was that I didnt get stung by a jelly fish or portuguese man o war. although it took about 400 meters to get comfortable with the rolling waves. I didnt feel good at the end of my swim.
What would you do differently?:

I would force myself to get my breathing down quicker. Heart rate was racing as usual at the start whucih cuased a little bit of hyperventalating but not as much as before so improving a bit.

Had problems with my legs tensing up. a loss of electrolytes and not eating the powerbar i had packed on bike may have been the cause. slight dehydration at end of run when sun started to heat things up.
