The water was really warm. I had some trouble in the last buoy because I was having doubts about the way to do the turn... if it was to the left or right... a man inside a boat told me the way

The cycling leg time includes the times in both transitions.
What would you do differently?:

By mid course I caught a group of about 8 athletes and in the first hill after that I left them behind. They caught me again some Kms ahead. I should have gone in their wheels.

I was having the sensation that I was going too slow, but at the end when I saw the results I found out that was nothing but a feeling only. It was really hot and dry which turned the running even more difficult.
