Comments:

In the first 5 yards, I got a solid kick in the goggles, which knocked the left side off briefly. Got a small bit of water into the lens, but not enough to be a problem. I did most of my breathing on the right side to avoid having it bug my left eye. I was glad that I had a cap OVER my goggle strap! There was a lot of support on the course. It was great to have the kayaks to sight off and it was so cute to turn to breath and see a smiling swim "angel" on occasion!

Nothing. This was my best navigation in a race ever.
