Maybe get someone to have a look at your swim stroke, sounds to me like you might be working to hard? If you are reasonable fit you should be able to swim 400m non-stop.
To be honest I really I don't mind splitting the lane when it gets crowded. If you want your own lane swim early morning or late afternoon Pic is from Tri Europe website.
Running is hard on the body be careful of running "too far, too fast, too soon". You still have plenty of time... If you can run 14km you can run 21km and besides your first 70.3 is always about finishing not about breaking records.
It is not just a swim, bike or run, but a triathlon, you have to wing the marathon after a 180km cycle and a 3.8km swim. There is a big difference between a 6 hour and a 17 hour day :-)
There is a big difference between a 70.3 and a full Ironman. I think most reasonably fit people can wing a 70.3 but it is not so easy to wing an Ironman.
Surprise, surprise... Central Gauteng Athletics has cancelled the City 2 City Marathon (24 September) due to a lack of sponsorship.

I can safely say that I will never swim 10km in a pool :-) Rich Roll is the author of "Finding Ultra" he is training for the Otillo Swimrun World Championships in Sept.
