Very cold, and chop. Not used to conditions and kept breathing in water. Ended up breast stroking most of the way. Very disappointed in performance.
What would you do differently?:

Need more open water practice in cold water

Need to get faster. Got passed by a lot of Olymipic dudes on sweet bikes. My bike isn't the greatest, but that isn't an excuse. Need to get stronger.

Wearing running shoes helps T2. Will need to practice when I have clipless biking shoes.

Comments:

Tired and I shouldn't have been. I think that I was disappointed in swim etc and it got into my head. I should be able to finish stronger given all the running that I have done.

Event comments:

I struggled for a number of reasons. First the a car accident on Friday made my body sore and tired. Also, getting over a cold/conjestion. Secondly, I sucked in open swim - the cold water really affected my breathing. Finally, I psyced myself out with the high level of competition being a USAT qualifier race.
