I never really have a problem with transitions.

What would you do differently?:

I would train more for hills. I would also bring my triathlon bike instead of my road bike. There were some nice descents where the people on tri bikes would just pull away from me.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

After talking with my coach after the race and explaining the issues I had, he said he thinks that my electrolytes got out of balance.

Event comments:

I would have to think twice before doing this race.
