OK swim, got hit and kicked alot. someone was drafting me the whole time, they kept hitting my feet no matter where I moved to. after last buoy, swam straight into the sun and could not see since I had to change to my clear goggles last minute.
What would you do differently?:

pack an extra pair of tinted goggles!

felt good biking. the road was terrible in spots due to the repaiving going on. just glad I didn't flat. butt got a little sore by the end of the ride. wish I could have finished stronger.
What would you do differently?:

should not have stopped at the water stop to refill water bottle! I did the first one on the fly but for some reason stopped for the second. ended up losing a couple minutes and i didn't even need the water!

I was in the second rack so It was pretty quick in and out.
