Walked around. Drank Powerade. Walked back to hotel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The freaking in the water which I assume will go the more often I do these. The heat - I slowed down - the ambulance crews were busy, yesterday.

Got into the water (very cold). Couldn't get my face into the water...couldn't catch my breath (again). Otherwise would have been a much better swim. Last 100 meters, finally got my rhythm and actually swam with face in water. Easier on the neck and much faster progress.
