Not bad start, was tough at first sighting into the sun but found the bouy and was OK, started some drafting but the dude slowed down, so I passed. Pretty much was at RPE 7+ish, breathing every stroke.

Missed the clip on the helmet and almost dumped the bike trying to get the helmet buckled, missed the 1st clip in just getting started and goggles were fogges up from the humidity although they need to be cleaned.
