Comments:

Lousy damn swim. Goggles started fogging almost from the start. That wasn't a major issue until I turned into the sun on the way back in and couldn't see a damn thing. I blew a ton of energy trying to clean them while treading water with just my feet. Got so wiped out that I had to hang on to one of the paddle boards to get my breath back and clean the damn things off again. As it was, I still had trouble seeing the swim exit. The lack of training didn't help.
What would you do differently?:

Put some anti-fog on the damn goggles!

One of my worst T1's ever. I had to walk the entire way because I was so beat from the swim.

Comments:

Lousy bike. Only average 183 watts, which is pathetic for a 14 mile ride. The less said the better.

Decent T2.

Comments:

Not a bad run pace considering, but when my run rank is that much better than my swim and bike ranks, you know it wasn't a good race.

Event comments:

Decent little race. They seemed a little short on volunteers, but it didn't hinder anything.
