Got at the 2nd bouy...rounded it...and...swam to the Swim Exit... Just when my fingers touched sand...I got up and ran as fast as possible to the Swim Exit Arch...at the same time...removing googles, swimming cap and wax ear-plugs and put them inisde the cap...

After the 2nd Lap...got at the desmount area...and...I did it like usual...like the Pro/Elites but keeping shoes on...and...jumped off the bike and ran fast inside to Transition....
