Comments:

Course seemed long. Also the water was really warm. After rounding the first buoy I felt a little nauseous.

T1 was included into the bike time

Comments:

Fun course, its in my backyard but have just recently started to ride it.
What would you do differently?:

I usually have a bar coming out of the swim and onto the bike but felt bloated so probably shouldn't have eaten on the bike and stuck to liquid fuel.
Transition 2
  • 01m 56s
Comments:

T2 was in a dirt area so I decided to unclip and just run with my bike shoes on. I had an issue trying to get my feet out of my bike shoes as my insoles were sticking to the bottom of my feet.
Run
  • 1h 00m 9s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

I thought the run was very challenging. I had to slow to a shuffle and/or walk a few times going up the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Get more hill training.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and used the shower to cool and rinse off.

Event comments:

For the registration amount I expected a little more. The expo seemed lacking along with the post race activities. Also one of the ugliest shirts I've gotten and no finisher bling.
