Comments:

It was hard for me to catch my breath and get into a good rhythm. I keep going off course and had to straighten out. I even touched the ground every now and then. I took my wet suit off in the water. Not sure if that saved me any time, since I had to sit down in the water to do it.
What would you do differently?:

Practice open water swimming.
