Pre-race routine:

Woke up, had breakfast, drove down to race start, got body marked, checked bike, added nutrition, pumped up tires, listened to a little music, used bathroom, put on wetsuit after lubing up with sunscreen then headed to race start. Did all this while sipping on PowerBar Endurance.
Event warmup:

Got in water and that is about it.
Swim
  • 1h 12m 49s
  • 4224 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

First 200m performance was only average for me because I felt that with all the people it was hard to have a normal performance in the start of this race for me.
What would you do differently?:

try to stay outside a little more instead of pulling the line
Transition 1
  • 08m 43s
Comments:

Wetsuit stripper sucked and that is why my suit got stuck on my heels. Long transition since we had to run about 200yards before getting to change tent. Transition went smooth. Got out on bike and felt good.
What would you do differently?:

Pick a better stripper!!!
Bike
  • 6h 59m 34s
  • 112 miles
  • 16.02 mile/hr
Comments:

No/Little wind on first loop, picked up on second loop.

Sun was a hot sucker!!!!! Probably should have reapplied more often.

Nutrition: 3 bottles cytomax/SE, 2 servings Clif Shot Bloks, 2 Tri3Bar cocoa crunch, cpl oranges and water
What would you do differently?:

try to pace a little better on first loop so I could have a negative split but it was also a change of mother nature with increased wind.
Transition 2
  • 04m 20s
Run
  • 4h 58m 39s
  • 26.2 miles
  • 11m 24s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt like crap on first loop. Legs weren't quite there, had a headache and was trying to get in proper nutrition. Took ibprofen at around mile 5, helped everything including headache and by end of first loop was feeling much better.

Nutrition: 24oz Cytomax, pretzels, oranges, water and gatorade. Took salt tab at some point that I convinced another male runner to let me have.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think there is anything because each race is a little different and based on previous experiences I had what I needed but I ended up needed more salt because of the weather and heat.
Post race
Warm down:

Look for my lost fiance!!!!!
Oh yeah and had some water and a slice of pizza as well.

In case you don't already know, Hudnick was in the med tent and they kept telling us that he was gone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Racing in France 7 days earlier.

Event comments:

Great race. Would do again just not soon.
