Pre-race routine:

3 or so hours of waiting. 1/2 bottle gatorade and about a litre of water while waiting. It got HOT when the sun got over the clouds.

After things thinned out, was fine. By my watch I was climbing out of the water at 28:xx, which is great. Swim was best part of the day, except for that mile to my bike afterwards. The 31 includes the run to transition.

Rolling time and speed much faster than this. Trying to stay hydrated has its downside. Had to stop for facilities, I swear i peed for five minutes. Took salt pills, 2x gatorade. Still not enough. Was already feeling it coming into T2.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Leg was cramped/stiff. Couldnt run on it. Took forever to get out of T2, could only run a few steps before it totally tightened on me.
Run
  • 1h 25m 47s
  • 6.21 miles

Comments:

Walked ALOT. Maybe first mile/mile and half. Then could do some run walk, run walk, etc. Became just finish and go home. That I did.
Post race
Warm down:

Icy towel, some water. Then to the Cluster of Transition to get my stuff. Pros were swimming as I walked back. Damn they are fast!

Event comments:

I just dont think I can hydrate right on days like that. This race was like Bangs lake last year when it was sunny and 90s and felt a lot like Racine. I also think I need to do more stretching or something, I was already feeling tight going into the race and never really got loose before the pain started on the run. Oh well. It is in the books.
