Comments:

Water was cold, not used to wet suit. Had a hard time breathing and stopped 3 times doing breast stroke and catching breath. Didn't get into any rythym until rounding last buoy. I think it was a combination of the temp and not having worn the wet suit since last season.
What would you do differently?:

More practice time in wet suit.

Event comments:

Small race, no timing chips, not a big turn out. The directors have a sprint duathlon and sprint tri plus an olympic duathon and tri.

How was the water in terms of waves? I did this Triathlon in October of last year and the waves tried to kill me. I would like to do the triathlon again but I was thinking of switching which one if the water might be calmer.
