Comments:

Great swim. I lost my glasses going under the first wave, but once I got close to the first buoy I really settled in. I was very pleased with the last "300m" It felt longer, but at that point I wish it was. Looking back on the time I came out of the water 4th in my AG
What would you do differently?:

Not lose my glasses at the beginning and settle in a little quicker

Not sure where in the time they put T1, maybe on the bike? Time is my best guess
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, very fast T1. I wish they would have had times

Comments:

A crosswind kept me on the lower handles whole time. Because of this I did not hydrate the way I needed to. I really could have pushed harder on the way out, I was anticipating a good tailwind on the way back, but there was not much of one.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more fluids

Nice job on the race man.  I'm glad you were able to still see the buoy's after losing your glasses. 

It was definetly a fun race and I think you did a great job.
