Due to rain, had my gear sorta wrapped up, less accessible. Probably wasted time washing feet

Won't bother washing feet or keeping shoes dry.

Comments:

Put unwrapped power bar on top tube in T1, ate half but the rest was gross melted from rain. Hammer gel at mile 10. One bottle w/ weak accelerade mix perfect. Biking is still my strongest, I was as fast as top 10 but as usual lost all my gains on the run. Glad I practiced the course several times. Saw some people walking up Heartbreak Hill!

Comments:

Hate being passed by so many people but try not to get discouraged. I've come a long way in 1 year. Ate sport beans to avoid cramping, hammer gel at mile 2. Didn't overdrink on run to avoid sloshing feeling plus was overcast. At mile 4.5 I tried to speed up/widen stride, finished strong.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My weight and boobs

Event comments:

Need porta johns and bathrooms had no toilet paper, start was way too early not even light yet. No drink station on bike, only water, pretzels, Apple chips and some candy. Lords volunteerss and police though, just the bathroom part needs addressing and subpar refreshments
