Comments:

My googles fogged so bad I couldn't see much of anything.
It was the first time with the wetsuit and I failed to secure the strap so it interfered with my right arm frequently. I didn't push as hard as I should have. I looked at my watch going into T1 - no official splits are available yet.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up. Allow my face and the googles temp to adjust to the water to prevent fogging. Fix the strap of the wetsuit/
