Good swim. Breathing well, head down. Much bette than I expected

My first transition was a little slow. I didn't dry off enough, and my clothes were sticking to me and I got frustrated.

Dry off better so everything went on easier

Not a bad bike, but not great. The start was a tough climb, and my heart rate soared. I finally recovered and had a good second loop.

Train harder on hills. More fluids.

When I went to rack my bike, someone had taken my spot. Pissed me off a little.

Wrok on taking shoes off during the ride.

Awful run. The hills killed me. The heat killed me.

More hill training, and more late morning training.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around village, static streching. Lots of water and snacks. Ate breakfast with my family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat.

Event comments:

Good race overall. My wife had to take over one of the watering stations because the kids there were just goofing off and throwing water at each other. Lots of hills.

My goal was to finish in under 2 hours, and I did so I am very happy about that. My personal best time. I couldhave cut 10 minutes off of my time if I had a better run. Something to work on for next year.
