Comments:

First OWS of the season. Did lots of unilateral breathing just to keep my HR down... I only train with bilateral. At the first turn around, I knew I would make the cut-off so I didn't spend much time in front crawl.
What would you do differently?:

Spend more time in front crawl.

I had a rear flat in the morning while airing up my tires. I blew that new tube on mile 45, tech was out VERY fast to assist. My chain fell off the front ring twice. Bike SN lost my bag :/
What would you do differently?:

I will have brand new tires for all full IM races going forward.

Volunteers racked my bike and called for my bag but I ended up having to find my own bag.
What would you do differently?:

Nada.

Comments:

I walked the first 5 miles then jogged the last 4 miles of each loop. I felt amazing until the last loop... blisters and an upset tummy slowed me down. Still ended up my strongest discipline.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

NONE. Walked around town finding my gear.

Event comments:

Tremendous crowd support on the run course. It was amazing.
