Comments:

We were swimming directly into the sun towards the first buoy and my navigation was very poor. I also happened to to find my swimming "twin" in my wave and we were politely jostling for position for quite a while.

I got act together towards the middle, but I was a little disappointed in my performance. Swimming is my best segment and I usually do better.
What would you do differently?:

Darker goggles for a bright day.

Nothing, except wish that I could afford a $$$$$$ tri bike.
