So this is when I found out about my bad nutrition. Got sick about 20 miles, tossed up breakfeast. I didn't really pay attention to what I was eating, (coffee, nuts, trail mix, apple fritter) then on the bike, I tried to get down too much Perpetum, without enough water. It came back. I'll never do the nuts & trail mix again....
What would you do differently?:

I'll never do the nuts & trail mix again....

Comments:

1 minute faster than last year, great improvement, but I forgot my garmin on the bike due to my stomach still complaining about the food issue.
What would you do differently?:

Pay attention to the what needs to be done, & try to ignore the stomach.

Comments:

Overall with my stomach it worked out ok. I started slow & felt much better by the time I got to around mile 4, but couldn't recover the time.
What would you do differently?:

See the breakfeast above... all I can say. More speed training too.
Post race

Hung out with team mates

Stomach issues.
