The swim went well, but I did start by swimming to the wrong buoy:
And, I saw lots of jelly fish. I felt a minor sting on my right forearm on the first loop. I mistakenly hit stop of my Garmin 910XT watch as I entered T1 :( I did figure it out before I lost too much time. The ride felt great and the run was not fast, but was steady. For a minute, I thought I had a chance of breaking 3 hours. But, I missed by 6 minutes. But, it was my fastest olympic to-date, so I can't complain.
