Not sure how much the current helped but was happy with my time. First time in the new wetsuit and I think it's much nicer than my previous.

  • 40.00 km/hr
Comments:

Crowded, but given the width of most of the roads it wasn't too bad minus the last 2 miles or so. Lots of slingshot drafting.

Forgot bottle of HEED at home. Ken was kind enough to give me a bottle of PowerBar electrolyte drink...which I proceeded to get discharged from the handlebars at about mile 2. Picked up water around mile 4 at the bottle exchange. Outside of having to deal with a crowded bottle exchange, it didn't affect my ride. Took two Clif Bloks (67cal) around mile 22
What would you do differently?:

Not forget nutrition.

Comments:

Had some side stitches on and off for the first 3 miles or so. Not sure if not having a sports drink mattered...doubt it. Took two salt tabs and then water from aid stations to drink and throw on myself.
Post race
Warm down:

Found and cheered for teammates and other competitors. There were five M35-39 in the open AG wave that beat me.

Event comments:

Loved the swim buoys!
