Performance: Below average
I way screwed up on the swim, I did exactly what I told myself NOT to do. I felt great starting out, so I swam way to hard, passed 2 swimmers with in the first 2-300 meters and lost it after that. I ran out of steam, couldn't breath, tired, I tried to catch my breath by doing some breast stroke (that didn't work). I finally held on to the wall for about 30 sec and regained myself and finished up strong.
