I didn't drink enough on the bike and then stopped and had a big skull of drink before taking off on the run which would have cost me some time.

water in goggles.

Event comments:

Beautiful spot on the South Coast of NSW. The weather was sensational, the water was a perfect temperature and it wasn't too hot for running in. Highly recommend it!
