Don't be so hard on yourself.
You got out there and had a crack!!

Did you warm up in the water before the swim?
The cold water will take your breath away if you haven't warmed up in the water.

The early races are a good way to find areas of improvement. That is take your mistakes and learn from them.

Good luck!

Hey there I agree with Casie,  don't be so hard on yourself,  great job!

Nerves can really affect your swim,  learning to relax and concentrate on efficient stroke is really important.  

I don't think I'm ready to master the art of riding with my feet on my shoes and putting them on on my bike yet either, don't think I want to try that till next season
