Comments:

Out to first bouy fine. However when I rounded first bouy I never looked at the next bouy. I just kind of guessed where it was. Next thing I know I swimming towards the boats and they're yelling at me to turn. That had to cost me a lot of time. Kicked a little to hard during the first 100 yards.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up longer
Take a good line of sight after that first bouy

Comments:

When I would let go of the velcro on the bike shoes it would fall back down and re latch. I struggled to get my shoes off. Gave my self a charlie trying to rip my shoes off
What would you do differently?:

I need to practice this stuff.

I thought we ran through the parking lot longer before coming to the finish. Should have started the finish push sooner. I need to push the entire run like I do in training
