Well, considering the current and these swim results it puts a jaded effect on total race but... none the less, it counts.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more towards the middle of the river to get more benefit from the current.

Garmin was broken so i spent time and just took it off. Also had to wipe feet a good bit.

  • 2h 38m 40s
  • 56 miles
  • 21.18 mile/hr
Comments:

Nutrition on the bike was kept minimal to try to minimize potential stomach problems on the run. It worked fine except i was pretty dehydrated during the run once that sun started heating up.
Drank 1 bottle gatorade 1 bottle water + 2-3 drinks outta a gatorade i snagged at bottle change.
Ate half clif bar and 1 gel

This was probably one of my best bikes ever. I didn't have any data b/c my garmin broke so i had to keep asking random people how far we have gone etc. I was pleasantly surprised with my average considering the hills and what not. Felt great the whole time though.
