Comments:

Swim went fine. I didn't like having the wave start set up that they did. Starting the 40-44 woman before the 30-34 men is not smart. I'm sorry to lady that I probably smacked in the sholder as she was treading water as everyone was going by
What would you do differently?:

Get a pair of goggles that didn't fog up. I couldn't see as I came into the finish. I listened for the crowd and hoped that everyone else could see....

What would you do differently?:

protect bike in transition area and not let my stuff get all messed up. I think my bike got hit. Helmet, glasses, number all on ground and flat front tire
