Comments:

Not a great swimmer, stayed calm and didn't have any issues even after getting kicked in the nose. It bled for the entire swim.
What would you do differently?:

More swimming get a little faster.
Transition 1
  • 01m 48s
Comments:

Maybe should have taken a little time to get in a little food, thought I could do it on the bike but wasn't enough. Sick on the bike 2x I think drainage from my nose set this off.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe go slower after a hit like I took in the swim.

Comments:

Not a great ride but good considering using a road bike. Have to think about upping my ride if I would like to drop time.
What would you do differently?:

Additional long rides at low speed just for duration rides.
Transition 2
  • 02m 12s
Comments:

Fairly smooth transition, was really low on energy at this point.
What would you do differently?:

Stop in transition and eat/drink before departing on the run.

  • 13.1 miles

Comments:

Did not have a good run, HR was funny never going up and still no effort to give. Mentally I wanted to go but no gas in the tank.
What would you do differently?:

In training I need to go back to the accumulation running instead of the duration training I have been doing.
Post race
Warm down:

Rinse and rest.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bleeding, Hydration, Equipment

Event comments:

Too hard based on this training period.
