Very poor swim, first open water swim of season.

Wore singlet for race, and rolled in down into shorts for swim.
Getting singlet up and on took too long.

Wear singlet during swim so as not to have to worry with it coming out of water and into T1.

Experienced severe pain where butt and hamstrings meet during almost the entire ride.
All I could think was how badly I wanted the Bike to be over so I could get to run and stretch out my leg.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure.

Took too long in T2, but attribute that to pain in leg.
