Swim felt really good. Kept moving at a constant pace. The swim must of been long cause my time was horrible.

Swim more. Get more pool time in to get faster.

Took my time here really. It was a long run from river to T1 up hill.

Nothing really. Maybe next time run faster.

Comments:

My goal here was to keep a solid pace, but NOT push the bike. I wanted to save my legs for the run. I was actually surprised on my time since I was taking it easy. I could of gone a lot faster, but didn't want to risk it.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Missed my row and had to back track a little.
What would you do differently?:

Pay attention. One day I would like to not have to put socks on for the run.

I was starting to hurt around mile 5. I was holding back the cramps, but It wasn't as bad as last time. I think if the hills were not there I would of been able to run full out.
What would you do differently?:

Need to Run more
Post race
Warm down:

Just drank lots of fluids. It was hot.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running and cramps

Event comments:

Great Race. The area was outstanding. I would do this race again easily. Only issue was the water. They started packing up so fast that I needed more water.
