Didn't enjoy swim, felt wetsuit was too tight and found difficult to breath and reduce heart rate. Close to raising hand for assistance.
What would you do differently?:

Keep working on swimming, more open water swims to get used to wetsuit

Thanks Kelly, next race is the big one - Xterra. Trying to fit in training with this holiday is proving a little hard but checked out the California half Ironman on the weekend which was cool and a goal for next year (Tauranga not California)
