Being soaked, I had a 2nd change of socks & shirt. Big mistake! Try to avoid changing cloths on T2...
What would you do differently?:

Stay in bike cloths. Just change the shoes. Wear shoe covers on bike shoes if there is rain.

Comments:

Back started cramping during 1st mile. Made it to the 1st aid station and got a couple sips of water. Did 3 short walks up the steepest part of the course. This cost me dear time...
What would you do differently?:

Train harder for the run section.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and ate some food. Really not much to say here.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Decided to do this about 4 weeks out. Had to start swimming which it had been years since I was last in the lake/pool swimming any distance. Do longer brick workouts. 1st Tri and got a good feel for how things work. I won't be as nervous next time.

Event comments:

Long drive home. Did not stay for the post event activities.
