Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5AM, Showered, got ready and drove to race site. Setup transition and walked down to swim start. Drank a protein drink and part of a bar.
Event warmup:

Light walking
Swim
  • 38m 17s
  • 1600 meters
  • 02m 23s / 100 meters
Transition 1
  • 07m 33s
Bike
  • 3h 39m 36s
  • 56.2 miles
  • 15.36 mile/hr
Comments:

Much tougher bike than expected. Lots of wind, heat, altitude, and hills. Even the "downhill" sections per the profile map had lots of climbing.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on hills, more riding at altitude. Come into race in better bike shape.
Transition 2
  • 05m 28s
Run
  • 2h 49m 39s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 12m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

No water at several aid stations! Felt horrible for the first few miles, then settled in.
What would you do differently?:

Not much for the run specifically. Not cracking on the bike would have made for a better run. Also could have ate and drank more before run.
Post race
Warm down:

Lot of walking and rests in between.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Altitude, hills, wind, heat...but not enough training.

Event comments:

Not a well organized race! Several aid stations had no water. Only had stations every 2 miles on the run. Most volunteers seemed confused or lacked info.
