Awful sighting. After the second buoy i did not turn acutely enough and went off to my left a ways. Finally noticed about 2 min later and had to head back to the pack. This killed my time.
What would you do differently?:

Wear non tinted goggles.

Comments:

My calves totally cramped up. This same thing happened at this race 2 years ago. This did not happen 2 weeks ago at the 70.3. Maybe the lack of sleep, as I did this race after a night shift 2 years ago as well.

Comments:

Started out with a 9+ min/mile average for the first 1/2 mile. After the cramps settled down I picked it up and finished strong. I would like to get under 21 for this, but I can't complain.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of sleep and being 2 weeks removed from my 70.3 without a real plan/taper. But it is a nice venue and close to home, so no complaints.
