Felt strong in the swim. This was my first time racing in a wet suit and it took 20" off my average pace

Comments:

Good ride overall and really enjoyed some of the roads. I only took Gatorade in my speed fill and found myself really wanting water at the half way mark
What would you do differently?:

Definitely going to pack water on the bike from now on. I really thought the Gatorade would be fine but it left me with real bad cotton mouth.

Comments:

I entered the run really wanting water only to find that there was only 2 water stations and 1 of them was out of water. The station only had 1 5 gallon jug and it was empty.
What would you do differently?:

I'm planning on using the water bottle we always get in the packet for water on the course. I can always trash the bottle after the water is gone.
Post race
Event comments:

Very few volunteers and the course was sometimes hard to read.
