 Swim
Comments: Started right, but not all the way right. Behind first wave. Almost no contact. Rounded Bouy's a little wide. Can't see second bouy because looking into sun. Ended up a little wide on the way back to shore. Wore hood with ear plugs. What would you do differently?: Navigate a little better. Draft more.  Transition 1
Comments: Couldn't run getting out of water. Tripped on beach. Tripped again on stake marking special needs bags and scraped leg. Decided to sit down and carefully go over transition in the tent. Had Tyr tri suit on for swim. Put MyAthlete tracker in pocket. Put on Bike Jersey over top. Put Fig Newtons in Bike Jersey pocket. Put socks on and shoes. Chamois creme on. Put on sunblock. Stopped at restrooms. Walked past bike mount line. Had a little trouble clipping in because of mud in cleats. Went slow so I wouldn't make a mistake that would cost me later. What would you do differently?: Try to do everything a little faster and stay away from stakes marking T1 bags.  Bike
Comments: Pacing felt good. Some air in stomach from swim. Stomach cramps limited food and water intake. Two bottles in Infinit on bike and two more from special needs. 3 Fig Bars. 1/2 bottle of water and 1/4 bottle of Perform. What would you do differently?: Start with with to get stomach to settle down. Transition 2
Comments: Put fresh socks on. Had thicker ones on for the bike, because morning was chilly. Used bathroom. Put on more sunblock. Took of heart rate strap from Powertap. Turned on Garmin. What would you do differently?: Missed area by clavicles with sunblock.  Run
Comments: Walked Aid stations. Walked hill and other sections on second lap. Limited initially by stomach cramps that would get worse every time I drank anything. What would you do differently?: Need to do more running so I don't walk Post race
Warm down: Waited for wife at finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Stomach cramps. Event comments: Volunteers and support are excellent. Very spectator friendly. No stops for traffic like some other Ironman races have. Weather was perfect. Used MyAthlete for family to track. Highly recommended. Made it very easy for them to find us.
