Comments:

Bike fell while running to exit; lost water bottle but didn't notice until on the bike course (disastrous); also didn't get enduralytes into pocket; hard to get into shoes with wet feet; wetsuit came off more easily than during pre-race practices; HR=174 at exit

Bummer with the lost water bottle. Good overall finish even though parts of the race didn't go your way. Did you get free lobsters at the finish line?

The lobsters weren't free, but they weren't expensive either. The massage was free, and most welcome. It was a learning experience: take the time to run through a quick checklist before heading out of transition. I won't make that mistake again.
