My watch strap came undone within the first 50m and goggles got some water in them.

Shoes were at the end of the life so new shoes will help in my next race.

It was ok, Dallas Athletes put on a much better race with better organization, and post events. Event photos sucked, not a major factor but its always nice to have some evidence.
