Comments:

Borrowed my wife's goggles. Fast start, standing on dock & then suddenly we had only 1 minute to start. Everybody jumped in water, but the time I got in it was 15 seconds to start. Didn't have time to wet goggles, they became cloudy right away. Hard to navigate because of goggles. Yellow swim caps hid the yellow buoys, had to keep stopping & looking up to navigate.
What would you do differently?:

Be in the water sooner.

Comments:

I always have the problem of clicking my shoes into peddles. People who were behind me got in front because of this.
What would you do differently?:

Perhaps tighten the spin on my pedals so I could clip in easier.
