Comments:

I already started cramping early on the first run.
Transition 1

Comments:

Took some time to drink some fluids.

Comments:

Just rode steady hard.
What would you do differently?:

Actually screwed up by not drinking all the water in my bottle.
Transition 2
  • 02m 20s
Comments:

The major cramping started when I jump off the bike. I had to lay down in the T zone for a while trying to keep my left quad from cramping. It was hard because my left hammy would try to cramp when I stretched out the quad.

Drank all my fluids.
Run
  • 27m 16s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 48s  min/mile
Comments:

Cramping. Walked the first 0.25 mile. Walked many more times because of cramping.

Last year I was almost 4 minutes faster. I am sure I lost 5 to 6 minutes from T2 on. I came into T2 in third place and slipped to 7th at the end. It should have been 4th with the lead I had on 5th and 6th.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing. I tried to run but was tired and sore.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Way under hydrated. I'll probably not make that mistake again.

Event comments:

Never really sure what others think I mean by "Rate this Race" but I am rating the event itself, not my performance. My performance I'd have to give a 2.
