Comments:

Not sure but the swim seemed longer than 500 meters and the run shorter. It was probably just me. Thought my time would be a little faster than this but I did start out wide.

Comments:

This was a good ride for me and the first one over 21mph. I pushed it pretty hard but was definitely having some stomach issues. They started on Saturday and didn't get any better.
Transition 2
  • 00m 57s
What would you do differently?:

probably decide to put on socks. the new shoes were not ready
Run
  • 19m 46s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

I was hurting and the stomach problems were mounting. I pushed it pretty hard just to finish the race. A few AG'ers passed me which usually does not happen but I am not complaining as I was happy to finish before puking.
What would you do differently?:

Well, my running has been limited since messing up my ankle last month at the Muddy Buddy. I sprained it bad with an avulsion fracture on the inside. It was tender but not too bad, however, deciding to go sockless with the new shoes may have been a mistake. Thank goodness it was only 3 miles. Any longer and my stomach and feet would have given up.

Warm down:

WATER

What limited your ability to perform faster:

stomach/cramping issues

Event comments:

My 2nd year doing this event. It is close and small which is nice. The family was there and could spot me easily.
