I could not get my fingers to work after the swim. I couldnt get my garmin strapped to my wrist. I dropped it twice. Then I couldnt get my chim strap to fasten. Getting out of the wetsuit wasnt too bad. I used the butt butter.

REMEMBER TO STRAP IN MY AERO BOTTLE. I didnt, and it fell twice while I was trying to get started on the bike.

tossed my aerobottle after the first couple miles. I picked it up after the race. Couldnt get my foot to lock in the pedal, but other than that I thought I did real well on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

REMEMBER TO STRAP IN MY AERO BOTTLE. Maybe drink more. I drank most of the aero bottle before chucking it, then about 1/3 of the other bottle.
