Had bad stomach flu 2 days prior to race. Didn't think I'd even be able to race. But at mile 11 I realized I had a chance of breaking last year's time so I gave it a good try and was only 1 min off my xterra PR. New hydration technique: carry flask to sip between aid stations. Try to drink small sips every 5-10 min. Ate tums, endurolyte pills & 3 espresso gels. Poured ice water on head. Lifted up tank top to cool core. No cramping, didn't feel thirsty. Tried to keep a steady jog even though it was slow at times. My technical agility on uneven and muddy sections was excellent due to lots of hiking last 3 mos. Longest running leading up to this was only 7 mI and week before didn't train much. Also have been training in hot conditions. Feel like I have a chance at redeeming myself at next Honu now.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Stomach flu was a little weak. Curious to see what I can do next year

I can train for half marathons on pavement and on trails, but as soon as I change it up to gravel or loose dirt my knee swells and the pain it causes is unreal. Any ideas why this happens?

My expectations for the quality of this years’ Triathlon world championship were fulfilled. This was because of the superb location that is like no other along with having the top triathletes present.
