Nicely done!!!
My second tri was my first OWS. I tried to dive in like the stud racers, and ended up with my goggles around my neck. I swam like a madman the first 500m and thought I was going to die the last 1K. Not to mention the morning sun burned holes in my corneas. Some very valuable lessons learned from that little escapade.
On a good note, I got better with time. And so will you. During the swim, I think "crocodile". There's a method for raising your head out of the water just enough between strokes (usually every 3rd to 4th stroke, for me) where you can target your next buoy. It's a handy little trick.
That was 2008. I've been racing tri's ever since, and grateful for every one of them. They're such endless fun.0
