Comments:

It was cold. I thought that practicing in the pool with the busted heater would help, but once I put my face in, my heart just started pounding. In the first 100 I thought I was going to drown. Then I remembered the wetsuit, and I just flipped over and floated till I got my breath. finally got in a groove, but I wasn't even winded when I got out, so I know I could've gone harder. I kept saying that once I got on the bike all would be well.
What would you do differently?:

Just swim and quit goofing off.

Event comments:

Good for the year's first tri. Saw some BT tatoos but really didn't talk to anyone. Abear2 won 2nd in the Athena's to my 3rd. After we say the first place Athena, she leaned over and said we needed to put her on a scale...
