water was flat as a pancake, easy and fast swim. mass start from beach led to mosh pit battle to the rounding of the first buoy, mellowed out after that.

visibility was fair, a bit murky.

glasses somehow fogged up in the helmet waiting there in the racks, so ditched them. eyes were tearing on the course, so wish I had my glasses.

Comments:

slow on the run due to blisters I got the training run day before. blasted new socks somehow caused blisters. I have no idea how that happened, but the pain was killing me.

course must have been short, because I was not running sub 7 min/mi
What would you do differently?:

dont wear new socks on the run the day before
