Pre-race routine:

Fudged it all up, forgot my wetsuit on the drive from NM, couldnt find coconut water. Didnt recon the course.

Comments:

Had never swam in a full sleeved wetsuit, very difficult with it being so tight, side stroked 95% of the swim, goggles fogged, bad bad navigation.

What would you do differently?:

Bring my suit, buy goggle solution, more open water swimming.

Practice wetsuit removal more.

Decent, kept pace with a female runner. Shouldnt have walked but i had mild cramps.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Preparation and mild lack of acclimation.

Event comments:

Port a potties please. I missed any chance at a warm up and missed prerace due to the 30 people in line for 1 toilet/1 urinal.

Maybe 1 water station on the bike?
