Felt really decent for 16-17 miles but had no salt/electrolytes.
When my bottle was gone and definitely without endurolytes....it went downhill quick.

I packed it in and walked a lot the last 3-4 miles. Skipped last 2 aid stations (big mistake...) and was really BAD queasy and light headed..
What would you do differently?:

I'll fuel with Hammer perpetuem on fuel belt AND salt sticks.
I'll trust the fuel and run a 9:45 pace....

I can do that.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?
