Had to put socks on to prevent blisters. Took some time to do this. Transitions are getting faster.

Comments:

Best run yet in a tri. Felt good, but wished they had some sort of energy drink on run (Gatorade or Heed). All they had was water, subsequently I had little needed electrolytes.
What would you do differently?:

Take a gel or small Fuel Belt bottle with energy drink with me. Research nutrition on course prior to start.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need some nutrition on the run. Otherwise great race.

Event comments:

Great race and a Personal Best for me, as well as a 2010 Goal!!
