Actually did 88 miles - I turned off the garmin when we stopped after the first six miles and realized we had to go back. I forgot to turn it on again until we started back out. Had a flat tire and then Amy and I got off course. Went far west instead of north so we had more direct into and against wind. Last 6 miles on US 12 into headwind wasn't fun.

My nutrition was good. Had 40 oz of EFS, plenty of water, about 10 cliff shots, a cliff bar. Wasn't hungry. We had numerous stops to figure out where we were going so times were slow, but I felt good on the ride. NO knee problems.

Diamond Lake OC - officially I swam 5500 yards, but I'm guessing that with all the meandering I actually swam more than 6000 yards. Felt good on the swim. My goggles fogged up right at the start (I put them on too early) but this time instead of enduring minimal vision and probably going off course, I stopped, took them off and dunk them in the water and when I put them back on I had no problem the rest of the swim. They worked great.

It was a challenge to stay on course I felt that I often went wide of the buoys but on the second leg I was much better at keeping the buoys lined up.

I took MAPP and Endurolyte before race and I had a few cramp twinges in calfs but not ver significant and no cramping when I got out of the water.
