Comments:

Terrible swim - warm water + wetsuit = overheated. Terrible breathing. Vomited a couple of times. Hyperventilated. Almost bagged the race halfway to the first buoy.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure. The hyperventilation and vomiting were unexpected.

Wow, way to tough it out after such a rough start on the swim.  Swimming through those weeds on the return leg sure couldn't have been much fun if you were already sick to your stomach by that point.  And yeah, the climb immediately after mounting the bike was interesting.

Sorry to hear about the rough patches on the swim! Wasn't a very good swim for me, either...water didn't taste so great and everyone seems pretty sure the course was long on top of everything else. Great finish, though! You and I had remarkably similar times for this (I was 51st O/A...would have been right behind you in the home stretch if I wasn't in the 2nd wave).

Good job!
