 Swim
Comments: Swam in my tri top which I had to do, but I need to get in the habit of it. Started at the far left and with a really nice comfortable stroke. Unfortunately I cut right a bit harder than I realized and swam across a couple people. After that I started to sight more and a little better. Still had a bit of a zigzag. My GPS had me at 0.5 miles with a 1:49 pace which is a touch slower than my pool swims and about where I expected to be What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: It was hot, and I took my time in T1 and drank some water, and gatorade. it was about 70 yards from TA to mount line, and I walked an jogged it. What would you do differently?: I was slow but really wasn't racing the clock here  Bike
Comments: Pushed hard thru the first half and stayed strong when I finally caught the tailwind. Drank my full water bottle. Need to work on cornering. Overall this was one of my stronger bikes. What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: Decided to keep my shoes on due to the distance between dismount and TA Again took my time and drank a little. What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: I really struggled on this run. Started out with a 7:30 and finished with a 10 minute pace. walked thru two water stations. Drank 2 gatorades in the first one and grabbed a bottle of water at the second. Drank half and dumped the rest on my head Didn't have any foot problems today Given the heat I think a lot of folks had trouble What would you do differently?: Increase the number of intervals and duration of tempo and brick runs Post race
Warm down: Walked with family. Tried to find shade What limited your ability to perform faster: Per report the heat index put the temp well over 100 Event comments: Was worried about doing this race as it wasn't part of a series or hosted by one of the typical triathlon race organizers. Overall they did a good job. I think everyone got a finishers medal. May have started the race an hour earlier and avoided some of the heat problems Last updated: 2015-05-25 12:00 AM

Arrived late the night before with the family to camp. Setup camp in the dark. Kids refused to go to bed. Finally fell asleep around midnight. Was woken up due to some load drunks at 1:15. Up about every hour after than until 5 am. Unpacked the bike, ate, and got dressed.
Had a light breakfast, got the kids ready and biked over to the start. Got chipped and marked and setup transition.
Stretched and then a short warm up swim
