Fastest Olympic distance swim?

Comments:

Usual troubles getting out of wetsuit and gaining equilibrium after swimming...
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting out of wetsuit more. Also look into shortening wetsuit a bit at ankles

Comments:

Smokin' bike. Just could not get in under 1:00:00. Taped up helmet for aerodynamics...
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try the Neuvation front wheel instead of Mavic Open Pro. Slightly more aero and probably lighter. Might have gotten me the 50 seconds I needed...

Comments:

Really left it all out on the bike course. Took a few extra seconds here to recover a bit and drink a little...
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Needed the extra time to recover...

Comments:

Took about 3 miles for me to feel good, recover from the maximal effort on the bike. Also had to stop and retie my shoes in the beginning...
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This race was all about the bike for me. Happy to see still finished with 20th place in group for run considering it took about 3 miles to recover from bike...
