1) I hate to bring this up, but, what happens if you get a flat during a race? Do you change it as quickly as you can and keep going? Or do you throw in the towel? (As related to a sprint or Oly distance.) (And another related question, do you bring your saddle pack with tire changing supplies?)

2) I feel somewhat sheepish asking this since its not for me, but for my husband who is doing his first Oly on June 30. He bought a wetsuit and is all set to start practicing open water swimming next week when the reservoir opens for swimming. Do you need different goggles for open water swimming? Or is it ok to use the regular low profile competition style? Thanks!
