 Swim
Comments: First half of the swim went great! I managed to find some feet that were pretty close to perfect speed for me. Somewhere on the return trip my goggles started to leak. It made sighting a little off and I had lost the person I was following. I swam the last 1/4 with my left eye closed pretty much. What would you do differently?: Not have my goggles leak?  Transition 1
Comments: Fairly long run to T1 Strippers were there which was cool. Honestly though, I probably could have got my suit off just as fast without them. Not like in AZ. Putting everything back into bags seemed like a hassle for some reason and took longer than it should have.  Bike
Comments: The course would probably have been great if I was a better climber. One problem I had was that it seemed like whenever there was a flat or downhill (where I could make up some time) there was also traffic to deal with so passing was sometimes an issue. I lost my water bottle along the way so my hydration/nutrition was a little behind. My Aero bag was apparently rubbing my front tire because a watter bottle and gatorade bottle both got leaks! The end of the bike was a little weird going through town and over some bumps etc... Not terrible though. What would you do differently?: Fix my hydration set up. Train more consistant. Transition 2
Comments: As I entered I heard one of the volunteers say this was the last port-o-pot and pointed at the couple sitting there. I don't know why but I "panicked" and went in one. I didn't really need to I just felt like I better. LOL! What would you do differently?: Not hit the can!  Run

Didn't get any breakfast because I had to get up so early and nothing was open that I could find. I should have been better prepared but this was unexpected.
I made sure my bike was in working order and all my fluids/nutrition were ready. Went to the bathroom.
I hadn't done an ocean swim yet so I figured I'd better do some practice. Everything was fine except I ripped my wetsuit arm. Oh well.
