Comments:

I had a BAD swim start. My HR was jacked sky high and my breathing was very erratic and rapid. With the time trial start there wasn't really a good reason for this. I can only think that my adrenaline was very high. It was almost 200m before I was able to settle down enough to switch from breast stroke to frestyle.
What would you do differently?:

Actually do my weekly swim workouts.
