Comments:

not sure what my deal was. Got off to a nice start, then fizzled quickly my breathing. Just felt like a couldn't get a full breath and spent too much time on my back and breast stroke. After the turnaround, things started to improve and I was able to find a nice rhythm
What would you do differently?:

need to train more in open water

What would you do differently?:

much more training with long rides and hills

My first tri with a HRM. After the strap kept popping off for the first 1.5 miles, I finally took it off and stuffed it in my pocket. Felt like I was running faster than my pace
What would you do differently?:

I keep telling myself I need brick training and never do it... I really need to start.
