Now that is a good swim...I had one moment of sighting miscalculation where I was swimming towards the arch on the shore and didn't realize there was one more buoy (from the sprint course) that I needed to round and I had to divert a little to get there.
What would you do differently?:

Not miss seeing that buoy

Pretty good T1 for me. I didn't have to put on my Garmin so that saved a step :(

Felt good. There was definitely some wind but with it being out and back, it was applied equally. I was only drinking Gatorade on the bike (and not all that much) which bit me later. I may have been pushing the bike too hard and not realized it as I did not have my Garmin but I thought it was kind of hard to push it too hard on an Olympic distance bike....
What would you do differently?:

Drink more WATER! And have my battery charged on my Garmin so I can actually use it.
