Panicked at swim first event

I’ve been training for 10months for an IM. Did a triathlon event of 750m, 36km bike en 10km run today, to get some transition experience. But I panicked in the swim, couldnt catch the flow as breathing was not working out due to the panick with all the mass and a vary narrow river. Had to do breaststroke. Tried to get back in flow but didnt succeed in calming my breathing, distance was too short. Few days earlier I did a non stop 3.8km openwater swim, so I’m able to swim. Am I fked for my IM in a month? I have another event next week, hope I dont panick there. What are tricks or things I can learn to prevent this? If I’m calm I can swim long in flow. Or what to do if this panicks occurs? My bike and run went amazing and ready for an IM.

In ‘t zak gezet dadels zaterdagmarkt?

Net “king” medjoul dadels gekocht op de zaterdagmarkt. 21,6 betaald voor 580 gram. Dat is 36 euro per kilo. Al redelijk vaak dadels gekocht, maar nog nooit zoveel betaald. Ben ik ‘t zak gezet? Of zijn op de markt in Mechelen duurder dan elders? Had pas achteraf door hoe hoog het bedrag was. Absurde prijs.

I’ve got like 5 tears in my Aquasphere wetsuit like the example attached. Is this bad? How to fix? Got a full IM in a few weeks. Going to do a few open water training swims, hope it does not tear more.
