Up at 4:15 for breakfast. Stuff was already together so we hung out at the house until 5:15 am. Got transition set up, body marking, port-o-potties and then hanging out in the tent waiting for our wave.

Comments:

Course was long...just not sure by how much. Garmin read 1.49 miles. I know there is a large margin of error with that though. 82* water temps meant no wetsuit. Survived the swim...was worse performance than should have been.

Aaannndd...here's where the wheels fell completely off.
Ran the first and last mile. The rest were 8' run/2' walk and walking the aid stations. Headache and heavy legs. I completely hate running in the heat and sun and this is what it was. Wanted to quit a dozen times in the first 3 miles Pulled my shit together with the help of teammates and managed to negative split.

Post race
Warm down:

Tried to eat, but didn't feel great. Cooled off under the team tent.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat.

Event comments:

Total: 6:21:02
PR on this course by a little over an hour.

I've said it before, but this time I mean it. I will not go back to Eagleman. While it's a well run race, it's not suited to my strengths.
