Comments:

was not used to cold water, could not catch breath, stopped at kayak right at first buoy to catch breath... I have never swam in water that cold I think it was more like 55 degrees... I eventually got a rhythm but I did not get it until after the last turn... Disappointing swim considering how much work i have put in at the pool as of late
What would you do differently?:

warm up more before swim start.. need to wear off the panic / shock of water temp before race starts and start calm and relaxed
