Comments:

On the swim I felt very strong, although Sally and I were placed in wave one with all of the hot dogs! Not sure why we were put there, but we did request the same wave so maybe that's where they had space. We let they fast guy go and then went. Sally struggled, but we agreed to stay together for the race, so I would tread water and wait for her. Could have done the swim at least 5 minutes faster I think, I felt really good in the water.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe just swim my own race?

Comments:

Stomach acid issues were bad. Had to walk 3 time to get it to calm down slightly. This was a bad week, dehydrated on Tuesday which put my stomach issues all out of line. Did ok and Sally stayed with me which made me run more than I probably would have on my own.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe take Pepto before a race
Post race
Warm down:

Walked backed to finish line and cheered people coming in. Walked home after breakfast.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Stomach problems

Event comments:

There was no assistance on the bike, big concern if people fall get into trouble. Would be great of there was a water stop on the run, I hated holding my water bottle
