Comments:

I thought that I was having difficulty with the swim because I had a small cold and that's why I couldn't breathe but it was due to the Nineteen Rogue SS. I practiced with it in the pool but for some reason couldn't breathe with it under race conditions. I didn't realize this until CSTS race #5 when I was in a full blown panic.

I went all out on the bike to see what would happen to my run. I thought that I could make some big improvements here. I had always held out and tried to save for the run.
