Comments:

Although my time was good it was my nightmare swim. I went out way too fast. I got pummeled by others the entire race. My spotting was awful. My goggles kept fogging so badly I did half the race with them on my forehead. The last quarter of the race was about the only good part.
What would you do differently?:

Get in the water sooner for a warmup. Use anti-fog for the goggles. Slow down and especially spot better. I probably swam and extra quarter of a mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a bagel, banana and a kind bar.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Spotting and goggle fog.

Event comments:

Race was well run but the food and swag were lacking.
