Comments:

Made mistake of trying to get smudges off my gogles right before race. Wound up getting a little water in them and couldnt see very well as they fogged up a ton. First race so not really sure how I did since the course was adjusted and I dont know how far it really was.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure goggles are clean and anti fog spray is on.

What would you do differently?:

Dont run around transition area and move with more urgency.
