I literally forgot how to swim. I have no idea what my legs were doing but they were not insync with my arms. I panicked yet again. I can swim great on my own in open water or in masters but in a race I'm an idiot!
What would you do differently?:

I'm joining an open water swim group to help get over pack swimming

My speed from mount to dismount was 30.7 km/h based on my garmin. Because the run from the mount/dismount is far from the timing mats your speed gets diminished.
