So disappointed I didn't crawl all the way round. Just get too wound up and can't breathe. Got to practice loads. Only affects me at races - not being able to see/people around me/ not really sure what it is but sure its mental. So did breaststroke most of the way round.
What would you do differently?:

More practice. got to get my swimming confidence up better.

Comments:

Really enjoyed the run. Laps got progressively better I think although I got confused at end of 1st lap and ran towards the finish instead of round the bend (idiot). See picture below for suitable expression:)
Sun was warm on my face. Can't say I did a very good POSE technique but I felt I motored on quite happily and managed a sprint at the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Drop the gear and up the cadence a little more on the bike approach to loosen up legs sooner.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm crap at swimming!
