This swim was one of my worst ever, I went hard early, didn't realize hwo cold the water was and lost my breath and rhythm. I lost about 5 minutes in the swim.
What would you do differently?:

A few more open water swims prior to first race of the season

Not a bad race at all, despite you being unhappy with your swim.  Nicely done.
