Comments:

Course was approx. 500m and it was my first OWS. Not a good combination for a very windy day (20-30mph). Need to work on not panicing....(did it twice:) ). Spent way too much time on my back swimming through the water.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work much more on my running to vastly improve my cardio. This should help immensly.
