Did well in the first 100 meters but lost my rhythm and had trouble breathing. I think the water being cold took so my wind out of my sails.

Need to swim more so it is 2nd nature for rhythm

The course was challenging but I felt that I wasn't pushing hard enough. I also got confused on one portion and thought I made a wrong turn so I slowed down. Found out I was on the right trail but it cost me 15 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Run harder toward the end. I felt like I could have pushed harder but my body did not cooperate.
