well...I couldnt swim in May 2009...with only 3 months of semi consistent training...so I dont feel too bad about it. I am not a swimmer! very anxious pre race! went to fast/poor technique early on. again...I am not a swimmer...yet!
What would you do differently?:

train more on technique. first time in a suit - train in the suit for sure.

riding an aluminum framed hybrid/commuter bike that had paniers on it the day before :)
What would you do differently?:
