Got up early feeling very sick! I had a clif bar and a peanut butter sandwich throughout the morning.

Stretching and light cardio.

Comments:

I had a HORRIBLE swim. I'm not sure what happened!
What would you do differently?:

I need to practice in open water.

  • 03m 9s
Comments:

Great transition, for me at least. I ran the entire way and got everything together fairly quickly. I laid everything out well during the prep time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing! More practice and I'll get faster!

It was fairly easy aside from some tight corners.
What would you do differently?:

Body glide! haha
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Accidentally stepped out of my shoe into some sand, so I had to take an extra few seconds to wash my foot off!
What would you do differently?:

Second towel to stand on.
Run
  • 38m
  • 3 miles
  • 12m 40s  min/mile
Comments:

I walked the first 1/4 mile or so. When I started running, it took about a mile before my legs loosened up. Lots of hills and misinformed volunteers... I don't know how many times one would say "One mile left!" Then five minutes later I would come across the mile marker or some similar situation!
What would you do differently?:

Not much!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, two massages and a chiropractic consult. Can't complain!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition the night before.

Event comments:

Biggest complaint: They closed the T area at 7am, but my wave didn't start until 8:33. I didn't have a disposable water bottle and there wasn't any water available, so I didn't get a drink for the hr and a half before the race.
