Comments:

Goggles were too dark and foggy so i didn't site well at all
Probably swam an extra 50 yards
Never got into a rhythm
Didn't breath bilaterally well
What would you do differently?:

Different goggles or no goggles.
Focus more on breathing/siting timing...in other words work out a number of strokes for every site and stick to it.

Needed to take more fluid. I need to get aero bar bottle to encourage drinking more.
Felt strong overall
If I knew the course better i could have blown through a lot more corners and kept my momentum going up hills around the corner.
Took Clif Shot toward end of bike
What would you do differently?:

Try to ride/drive the course before hand if possible.

Felt good considering how little i've been able to train on the running side so far.
What would you do differently?:

Train more...volume and speed work.
Want to get some Zoots now after hearing Bill talk about how much he liked his.

Warm down:

Walked arround

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training and lack of practice in open water/goggles issue.

Event comments:

Preparation was key...walking through checklist several times the night before helped me sleep and relax.
