You should be proud of yourself. An OWS tri is a whole 'nother ballgame compared to the pool tri you did in May. Your reaction on the swim was very very common. It really DOES get easier with time. (For me, it never gets "easy" but it does get easiER. )

More OWS practice at Hagg, a few more sprints, and you'll be amazed at the difference. BTW, there's an all-women's sprint at Blue Lake on 7/31, if you want to do two more before Black Hills instead of one.
