Comments:

first 50 I felt all my strength drain from my body. Weakness over took my muscles. I fell to the back of the pack immediately.
What would you do differently?:

I am talking to a coach now. I don't think I have swam since my last race. Maybe training would help.

Comments:

Stopped because my gear bag was open and I was losing tools and my PHONE out of the bag. Someone has found my phone.

I couldn't find the strength to pedal. Last time I felt strong in the bike this time I felt average.

Again I lose so much in the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure my gear bag is closed.

Comments:

I felt awful in the beginning and walked; also stopped at the porta potty. But then found something and ran a good portion of the run. Compared to last race I felt a lot stronger and stayed ahead of the heat, getting ice a the first stop. I even passed two people!
What would you do differently?:

Train.
Post race
Warm down:

ate with others who came in at the end

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training; going on vacation and not focusing.

Event comments:

This is a good race and I am glad I am signed up for the series this summer.
