I RODE HARDER THAN I EVER HAVE. I KNOW THE SPEED DOES NOT REFLET IT BUT THERE WERE MANY TURNS. DUE TO MY SLOW SWIM, I WAS PLAYING CATCH UP. I CAME OUT OF THE POOL IN 44TH OVERALL AND CAME INTO THE T2 IN 9TH PLACE. I WAS DYING TRYING TO CATCH PEOPLE.

NOTHING, I GAVE IT 100 PERCENT.

I RAN THE FIRST MILE REALLY FAST SINCE I ALEADY KNEW THAT I WAS IN THE TOP TEN. I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF THE SOME RUNNERS AHEAD OF ME AFTER A MILE. I SLOWED DOWN FOR ABOUT A QUATER MILE TO RECOVER AND THEN PICKED UP ENOUGH TO GET INTO 5TH PLACE OVERALL.
What would you do differently?:

NOTHING.
