Forgot to take of wedding ring which is a loose fitting ring. Had a hard time trying to keep it and swim. Swallowed water and felt nauseous. Gave my ring to a paddleboarder 1/2 way. Felt sick. Did better from the last buoy to shore but was wiped when exiting.
What would you do differently?:

Take off ring. More open water swims w/ breathing and distance focus.

Was worn out from the swim and was still fighting nausea.

Was not concerned as much with the transition this race. More on just finishing.

Cassette is getting worn and need to replace with the chain. Hills were a challenge as legs were worn out from the swim. Puked after a mile due to the lake water.

Not over exert myself in the previous event.
