Run #1: 11.45 @ 4.89 min/km (Following swim #1)

I wanted to throw up and quit after this run, I was stitching badly and felt quite ill. Probably a result from the swim.

Swim #1: 10.02 @ 20.04 min/km (First Leg)

Very tough going, considering the chop I did OK, I am getting more confident in the water now.

Swim #2: 12.42 @ 25.25 min/km (Following run #1)

I walked/ran to the water, I didn't want to go back in but I wanted to finish this thing and not for it to finish me!
What would you do differently?:

I think the club aquathlons have been a good part of my training.
I felt good and reasonably confident.
