I am a decent swimmer in a pool but I suck swimming in the open water. I have a hard time navigating but that is not the main issue. I can swim for a mile in a pool and not be winded - if I swim 200 yards in the open water I feel a slight panic/anxiety building. I keep looking to shore... I need to do more open water swims and swim through the fear

Tought course - not to be taken for granted
What would you do differently?:

I think I would actually train in the weeks prior to the event (instead of drinking beer and eating lots of pizza)

This course had beaten me so badly that I was just glad to cross the finish line.

Event comments:

This is not your average sprint. This is a hilly and challenging course. There are some dangerous turns on the bike course but overall a well run event. This course kicked my butt and I will learn from it!
