Pace to the first bouy was good, easy solid swim, then i began having dificlutly catching my breath - next thing I knew if was 10 strokes front crawl, the 10 side stroke to catch up on my breathing

Comments:

Bike went pretty well, had not seen the course, so was not quite sure what to expect - lots of hills, and lots of potholes. Passed quite a few people, felt pretty good.. Ran out of water in aerobar set up, it was already hot anyway, no water on the course.
What would you do differently?:

Have more water and put more effort into keeping it cold

Again, took my time, making sure I did not forget anything important.

Train more, have more cold water on board.

Event comments:

A good race, started on time, course was well marked, only issue I had was my lack of training...
