I started out feeling okay, but got my goggles pulled off about 1-200 yards in and really got tossed in the mix in general. I was struggling a little in the middle part of the swim - completely psychological. Once things cleared up and I had a straight shot to the beach, I got into a rhythm and had no problem.

Work on psychological strategies to stay relaxed when things get hairy.

I felt a little sluggish and felt like I could have done a little better on the bike if I was feeling better. Still, I guess I can't much complain about 20mph. I got moving along pretty well once I got into it a ways. It starts with a little uphill, but ends in some nice fast rollers.
