What a hilly course, i was either going 11 mph up a hill, or 30 mph down. I did well and stayed in aero. I thought it was challenging.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, lost a gel that i had taped to my top tube.

Again, i picked people off on the run, only getting passed by 1 or 2 guys. I had a good nutrition plan, as it was really hot. Sipped at every station, and had gel at start and mile 4.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, practice more in heat.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched. Ate at food, but it wasnt all you can eat sadly. Got my award and a few free bottles, shirts, and electrolytes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Knowledge of olympic triathlon.

Event comments:

Good event, with good people, DJS, and volunteers. Congrats to my former high school teacher Greg "stick" Wilkinson, who defended his title as Sprint Champ.
