Comments:

Felt great during the swim. I was afraid to go too hard knowing that I had to jump on a bike when I was done. The last 200 meters into the sure was tough because of the sun. I could not see anything at all.
What would you do differently?:

Get a better start. I entered the water too far back in the group.
