Pre-race routine:

Woke up early- breakfast of oatmeal & toast and a cup of coffee. Drove the 45 minutes to the event and arrived 1 1/2 prior to start.
Event warmup:

1 mile jog, nice and slow. Set up my transition area and went for a short spin on the bike. Got my wetsuit on and got used to the chilly water!

Comments:

I had a difficult time getting into a rythym on the swim. I started off okay but faded really quick, which made it seem like a long swim. I think the cold water made it difficult it breath smoothly which wore me out fast.
What would you do differently?:

Definitely train more open water and cold water......
