Comments:

No age group rankings. New goggles and did not have them tight enough for the waves. Had to clear them twice and got off course a little.
What would you do differently?:

Tighten my straps a little bit more due to waves.

Comments:

Out and back double loop down Ocean View Blvd. Not bad, but I did hit a small plate cover of some sort and the darn Garmin Forerunner popped off. Wasn't going to lose it so I put on the brakes and went back and found it pretty quickly and poppped it back on. Still worked. 3 bikes passed but I caught them right after the first turn around. Probably cost me a minute or two
What would you do differently?:

Get the Garmine Edge 500!
