If I didn't stop to empty goggles so many times, would have done fairly well
What would you do differently?:

Don't stop, just keep swimming, make sure goggles are good before!

Very happy with bike. Only passed by 4 females. Passed many people. Felt great. Best MPH I have ever had on this ride by 1.7 MPH!

Forgot to take helmet off, had to run back and put helmet back. Racked bike front tire in at first and it fell and I switched it.

Remember helmet, bike tire in rack!

Comments:

Ran with a full bottle of water, had extra, even with dumping it on myself and drinking often, although it was nice and overcast, had it been more sunny, I might have wanted it all. Also, there were aid stations every mile, so I didn't really need my own, but it was nice to drink from bottle and have the aid stations splash me!
What would you do differently?:

Carry less. "Splash" every aid station and only carry water to drink
Post race
Warm down:

Hmmm... hiked a 14er the next day, does that count?

Great volunteers! I had much more fun than I ever thought I would! Great race!
