Event warmup:

Light stretching and jogging. Short swim
Swim
  • 11m 39s
  • 547 yards
  • 02m 08s / 100 yards
Comments:

A little slower than I had in mind, but it will suffice.
What would you do differently?:

Concentrate on breathing the same way I do when I train. For some reason, that gets all fouled up when I race.
Transition 1
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

T1 was good, but it was a hell of a long run from the swim to the transition. I actually think that was a benefit.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike

  • 10.6 miles
  • 17.60 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike was awesome. I have never done better than 15 mph on this course, so to see that I turned in 17+ made me happy. I forgot my garmin, so I was just trying to hang with the group I left T1 with.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 2
  • 01m 12s
Comments:

T2 went well. A little slower than I was hoping for, but I will take it.
What would you do differently?:

Speed laces. I forgot to change them out and that cost me 20 seconds or so.
Run
  • 39m 48s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 48s  min/mile
Comments:

After T2, there was a wall, and I hit it....HARD!
Nausea hit me really hard at the start, and never really let up. Every so often I had to stop because I thought it was coming up on me. The heat today was a factor, as I am normally done running for a few hours by this time. I am really disappointed with the run, but really pleased with the rest of the race. I feel like I could have finished in the top 20 had I been able to keep my usual pace.
What would you do differently?:

Train in the heat more, so I am not surprised by it.
