had a good swim. actually enjoyed the little bit of contact i had with swimmers around me. all my practices swims in the lake paid off.
What would you do differently?:

not much. the current was tuff so you just had to take what the river was giving you.

Comments:

this sucked. it was about 100 degrees when i got to the run and my legs were wasted from the bike. my bigger problem was that i just mentally gave up. i was going to quit at the end of the 1st loop. sad that crossed my mind but it did. however i convinced myself to keep moving and finsihed!! the last 2 miles felt decent. the first 4 were HELL!!
What would you do differently?:

keep my head in the game. once i gave up mentally my legs followed. very disappointed in myself
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental Weakness

Event comments:

this was a tuff course and i knew it was going to be. i could have done much better had i biked smarter and stayed focused on the run.
