Comments:

Good swim, I was satified with my time. I waited for the rest of my wave to leave before starting my swim. I knew I was going to be last on the swim, so I wanted to just stay out of everyone's way and enjoy it.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Transition 1

02m 33s

Comments:

A little slow, but I didn't forget anything, so it was a success.

Bike

1h 20m 27s
24.8 miles
18.50 mile/hr

Comments:

I didn't drink enough on bike and I pushed two hard. I should have worn my camelbak so I would have stayed hydrated.

Transition 2

01m 30s

Run

1h 05m 7s
6.2 miles
10m 30s min/mile

Comments:

I was well below my ability on the run. I pushed the bike too hard and didn't drink enough - so I was out of gas when it came to the run. It was getting real hot and I was feeling it. I did a walk/run the entire 6 miles which was very disappointing to me.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough fluids on the bike and pushed it too hard for my level of fitness at this point. I viewed this event as a sprint distance and pushed hard, but couldn't continue that pace the whole time.
