Turned at second yellow bouy in 4 minutes (when the next AG was sent off) Unfortunately my goggles filled up with water so I just closed my eyes and swam not to loose a contact. Had to be redirected by the nice gentleman in the canoo having gone waaaay off course :-)

When I rode it was great! - I made the same mistake again with my gears and chain and it came off completely this time - right on the hill at the 6th mile marker!!!! Oh, and also almost got hit by a car on Pctree Ind.
I was disappointed with the bike since I was on my brand new full carbon fibre beauty - ah well.
What would you do differently?:

Need to practice safe gear changes and get more miles on the road.

Train more.
