Had a very good swim except for being out of breath. About half way through my stomach started knotting up. Just about threw up in the pool. Fairly pleased with my time.

44 minutes to ride and 2 minutes to hurl. About 1/3 into the ride I just couldn't take it anymore an had to stop and throw up. After that I felt much better. Very pleased with my pace. A great ride.
What would you do differently?:

I need to figure out the race day breakfast. This is the second triathlon this year I have had an upset stomach. Doesn't ever seem to happen in training. I am really getting used to my bike and may be ready for aerobars.

Great triathlon. The chip timing this year is a big plus. Very well run with friendly volunteers. Good post race scene.
