Pre-race routine:

Normal breakfast at home. Went early to layout transitions, warm-up etc. Felt calm. Had to get my bike derailers adjusted after tune-up this week.

Swam a few laps in the warm pool. Stretched.

Felt like a very good swim. Not happy with the time. I think they made a mistake.

Need to learn to swim better especially breathing and stamina.

Comments:

Seemed like a good ride. Lost my chain shifting down to the small chainring and had to stop and fix it. My stomach started cramping on the return ride and I almost threw up a couple times. It was a very hard ride. I did the best I can.
What would you do differently?:

Not get a bike tune-up the day before the race. Train more.

Comments:

Very tough run. Some of the hills were so steep I had to walk. I was very worn out from the bike and couldn't maintain a good pace. Almost threw up several times. I did the best I can.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Practice more hills. Eat earlier in the morning to try and settle my stomach by race time.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and drank water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. Not enough practice on the very tough course.Upset stomach.

Event comments:

A totally new layout this year with a new bike and run course. Much better as far as the transitions and spectator control. However, the run course is just too hard. An additional drink station would be good. I'm sure there will be further adjustments next year.
