The swim start went well and not very crowded at all. A few light taps from other swimmers but nothing to complain about. I settled into a groove early on. Only issue was my navigation as I kept pulling to the right which added distance to my swim.

Nothing

Bike course was great and I only had a few people to chase down. Mostly did the passing on others except for two guys. The course wasn't too busy and it was easy to pass people coming into the corners. Everybody was braking way early for the corners so it was easy to pick people off.

Nothing

First lap went well and I knew I was doing decent overall as I didn't see many people on the run course. Slowly I started getting passed as I slowed down. Looking back, I didn't get enough nutrition early enough in the run. I was dizzy/tired by mile 6 and finally picked up a gu pack at mile 8. I stopped at that station to drank lots of water and finished off with a sip of coke.

Eat just before coming into T2 transition and start getting calories every 3-4 miles.

The heat was pretty tough on the run course but overall my lack of nutrition on the run course was my biggest downfall.
