Comments:

Starting line was about 200m from shore, only had 3 min to get there. I started out way too slow and had to rush to start line. By the time I got there I was totally winded and had to wait until next wave to start. Once I got started I felt pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Get to start sooner so I could get breathing stabilized.
