 Swim
Comments: This was a great swim for me, clocking in 2 minutes faster than my half in April. After rounding the second bouy the swimmer to my right switched to breast stroke and kicked me square in the jaw. Regained my composure in a few seconds and kept going. After the final bouy i headed straight in and began walking where most people started, but decided to keep swimming. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Long run to transition, put on my race top, grabbed my energy, and headed out. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Overall I was pleased with my bike segment. This was the first time ridding a hilly course but I managed to do OK. The chip seal was unpleasant, but it didn't kill me. I ate 2 stinger waffels 1 gel and a couple PB crackers and drank ~ 2 bottles of gatorade. Stayed in the aero position for the entire race. I was unable to move into my small ring for the last part of the course and my bike computer broke at mile 20. At the 40 mile point i was at 2 hours and 3 minutes and feeling good. The last 16 miles were harder than the first 40, but I still managed to do well. I thought I could have gone a bit faster but was happy with the results. What would you do differently?: Train more on hills and drink water versus gatorade Transition 2
Comments: Had to use the rest room and forgot my race belt. This cost me ~2 minutes during the run while a volunteer ran to grab it for me. What would you do differently?: Not forget my race belt  Run
Comments: The first 8 miles felt great, as I only had to average 11 minutes per mile for the rest of the course to break 6 hours. My stomach became very sour and I was unable to eat anything after getting off of the bike. I tried to sip water and gatorade, but nothing was working. Also, at the 8 mile point the fiber kicked in and I was a mess. I was forced to go slower than I wanted to and once I realized I wouldnt break 6 hours, i decided to take it easy What would you do differently?: practice eating while running Post race
Warm down: I felt terrible after the race. On the way home I threw up everything I tried to eat/drink, and couldnt keep anything down until 8:00 that night. This is the first time this has happened to me, and i think it had everything to do about my pre-race nutrition What limited your ability to perform faster: Too much fiber Event comments: Will plan on doing again next year Last updated: 2011-11-11 12:00 AM

I woke up at 3:45, a little earlier than normal, so I could watch the 2nd half of the LSU clemson game. Since I woke up earlier, I decided that I needed to eat more than normal (mistake number 1). I had two english muffins with peanut butter, and a cup of coffee. I left for the race and grabbed two cups of the new Wheaties cereal (mistake 2) for the road, and grabbed half of a cliff bar (mistake 3). I am not sure why I decided to eat so much before this race, especially when I haven't trained with the Wheaties cereal. Hindsight, I realized I 20 grams of fiber, and yes, that came back to bite me!
Not much for warming up.
