Stopped 3 time to adjust Goggles. Within the first 100 meters, left goggle had filled with water, sam to shore, and tightened straps. I aparently got them to tight, because they felt like they were crushing my eye. stopped and treaded water to re adjust, then later grabbed a Yak to loosen the straps. Good from there on out.


Make sure goggles are properly adjusted before the start!

Long run from Swim exit to transition, made for some sore feet. Kudos to Race managment for the carpet, and the decision to set up transition in the parking lot instead of the mud lot next to the swim.

I took a long time to dry off my feet, since last race I had foot issues due to poor draining shoes. Same shoes for this race, so I spent the extra time with the towel. I think this cost me 3 or so minutes.

Run was painful. I was under prepared for the run after the swim.
I tried to drink Gatorade at the aide stations, an it apparently worked, no cramps this time, and was covered in salt when done.

Train more. Not having the bike leg really hurt me. I did not get that opportunity to collect my self after the swim, and hydrate.

Went and got som Food, and hydration.


Training. Life has gotten in the way of consistent training.


This race would get a 5, but the Bike was cancled. I know it was out of the hands of the race management and they cannot be faulted for the weather, but still is a bummer.
