“I’m pretty fit. I’m confident on the run. I’ve got decent speed on the bike. I swim regularly and follow the plan to the T. I put in the work.

You were ready. So why did it feel like you were drowning 300 meters in? You showed up to race day prepared. You did the work, followed the plan and hit your paces in the pool. You also finished the distance in open water. Training felt controlled, predictable and solid. And then the gun goes off, and suddenly your breathing spikes, your stroke shortens, your heart rate shoots up, and the swim feels twice as hard as it ever did in practice. It doesn’t make sense.
