Comments:

First 1/3 of the swim was horrible. Went out too hard (I think), and my breathing went to hell. I nearly wrote off the race about 8 minutes in. But I stuck with it and calmed myself down, and ended up with my first negative split in a swim ever. Was hoping to be a bit faster overall, but just rolled with the punches.

My biggest goal was to push HARD on the bike. And I did that well. I took 5:02 off my ride from this race last year! Mission accomplished. Now, time to hang on for the run!

Comments:

Normal stuff. Paused a little longer for an extra swig of water from my bike bottle before running off.

Comments:

I didn't go out too hard. I picked it up around the mile 1 marker. I nearly had to stop to walk around mile 5. I was hurting. I was really pushing hard. But I held on and finished OK.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate lots of food, ran around cheering for 70.3 people, loaded Sarah's and my stuff in the car, and waited for her to finish the half.
