Had to deal with a current that was going out, it took me about half the course to figure the current. This cost me alot of zig zaging and some time.

Decided not to go sockless or pre clip my shoes. The ocean swim took its toll and made this transition very slow. I was still light headed well into 3 miles on the bike.

I had a bit of trouble in the first 5 miles until I "recovered" from the swim. I settled in good, but around mile 18 I started to cramp which prohibited me from drinking and eating. This caused me some issues towards the end of the run

Breathe deeper to better fight off the cramps

Forgot to take off my helemt. Luckily a volunteer at the transtion exit told me and I took it off as I crossed the timing mat

Cramps contintued 2-3 miles into the run. Finally I ran out the cramps at the turn around. I did not drink at all durning the run or the last 8 miles of bike. The last mile I started to suffer from not drinking or eating.

Take in more fluids and a gel

Other than my personal race issues, the event was great. Very well run with more than enough volunteers. There were volunteers at every corner and every intersection. Plenty of water stops. For the first race in my life there were more than enough porti-johns, worst case had a 5 person line. The post race food was a lobster bake.
