Comments:

first triathlon, 1st open water swim in 20 years, 1st open water swim in a wetsuit - the swim is my best event but I paniced and had to tread water/breast stroke to the first bouy, then I was able to settle into my stroke, but never fully recovered.
What would you do differently?:

get in the water first and aclimate/warm up

What limited your ability to perform faster:

inconsistant training during the spring as I traveled for work for the entire month of april and some of February, March & May. Just not physically ready on race day.
