I started out feeling good but felt fatigued pretty quickly. The swim seem to drag on forever. I could have sighted better. A few times I realized I was heading off course and had to correct.

Better sighting. Think about getting a sleeveless wetsuit and see if that helps with my arm fatigue

I put on sunglasses but they were fogged up so I put them in the vents of my helmet so I could use them later on the bike. As soon as I started on the bike they fell to the ground. I had to turn around to get them. 30 seconds lost. T1 time is lumped in with bike split due to technical issues by timing company.

If I cannot put sunglasses on my face, leave them behind or at least put them in a pocket.

Never got into a great rhythm. I expected a strong showing on the bike. I do need to remember that this time includes T1 and the wasted time chasing down my sunglasses. There was a lot of traffic on the course (bikes and cars) although it was kind of cool to pass so many people. On one of the early downhills my glasses blew off my helmet again. I decided to go back and get them which cost me a ton of time. Not only did I have to wait for a break in bike traffic before I could pick them up but I also started climbin out of the valley without any momentum from the downhill. Very frustrating. Also, I took my computer out of the harness the night before so it would not be ruined by the rain overnight. When I re-attached it in the morning it must not have been secure b/c it kept coming loose on the ride and sliding out of the harness. I ended up taking it off and putting in my back pocket.

Again, secure the glasses.

The dismount line came up faster than I expected so I was unable to get my feet out of my shoes. I ended up wear my shoes down to the rack. Not a major issue but probably caused me a few seconds.

Get out of my shoes while still out on 108.

I felt strong in the run but wow that is a tough run course. I'll take 7:30/mile on that course, especially getting off the bike.

Maybe redline it a little more.
