Comments:

Started at left of everyone and tried to go hard and strong to start. I had some anxiety, but regained full composure after a while. I soon forgot my rhythm, and stopped thinking. I lost sight of most people and worried about how I was doing. I struggled to stay straight, but managed ok. I was surprised by how fast my swim was compared to the bike and run.
What would you do differently?:

Not really sure. Maybe try to settle down a little sooner. Maybe try to get in a rhythm sooner. maybe in the future I should plan my start and then how I transition into a rhythm.
