Comments:

a disaster. I had set myself up with a good swim and bike. My legs and lungs felt good but my stomach was a mess. I had to walk, stretch, almost puke, almost use washroom but not finishing was not an option. End of the day I got it done missing my run goal by almost 9 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Need to investigate GI issues.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was really disappointed. This was the first time I really missed a goal badly. I will learn from this and use this experience to make me better. I realize that this happens to all athletes at some point.

Event comments:

great event and location.

It was unfortunate that the guy in the Oly passed away. RIP
