You are working your SDK's very hard, Leslie, of course you're anxious to breathe; it also is possible that your brain was sending panicky little messages that you might be too deep, surface please! (you weren't too deep).
I think that will be the hardest thing to work on further with the SDK's: extending your effective range so you break the water into a very assertive stroke pattern (also knowing for sure before a race how many SDK's you can normally take comfortably). In a way, it is like the breastroke breakout, you can bail too early and sacrifice easy distance and milk it too long and kill your momentum. You are well along the road already.
