Started raining right at swim start. Completely unexpected. Difficult to navigate and really needed to get head up high out of water to sight.
What would you do differently?:

Use clear goggles (need to purchase) and add more sighting drills in the pool.

Thought I flatted before the big hills, but it turned out that to other fellow AGers flatted in front of me. Saw the opportunity and stepped on the gas to build a lead.

Hills got me. I may have spent too much energy on the bike course.

Event comments:

Loved seeing the mayor out at this race. He was handing out food to all the finishers. It was pouring down rain and cold, but he was still out there.
