I enjoyed reading your blog Matt!
When I asked you abou your race you did'nt mention your goggles broke on the start line.  arghhhh.  nightmare!
I laughed when you had to swim over and under swimmers starting their swim in 2 foot of water!!  ...I can just imagine it!

I liked your photos of "the new cup" way at Embrunman!  ..show the World the new way!  Cheesy

Hey Bella im happy you enjoyed my blog!

Typically im very calm and composed at the swim start,
but last sunday was totally diffrent...I just went into attack mode!
Luckly it was daylight for me at that time Wink

Many years ago at a swim meet, before my 200m free same thing happened.
My goggles snapped on the start blocks because I had made a bunch of knots,
So they wouldn't fall off or leak when I dove in the water!

Well I bareballed that 200m fr and even with a few bad turns, I went a best time!

So since then, I always carry a spare google.
Usually I go one pair clear and one pair tinted,
and then chose on race morning.


Oh and those plastic cups or lack of cups created some caos at the aid stations...
But there lots of room for improvement, as they are onto something,
That can be marketed and sold!
