Still struggling with my open water swims. Trouble breathing, probably a mix of anxiety and wetsuit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I had a cold the week before and I felt it.

Event comments:

They need to re-evaluate the swim course to avoid the shallow areas, but overall this was a beautiful course. It was by far the most difficult course I've raced but still a lot of fun!
