Felt good during the swim. The dark skies, pouring rain and low light made it difficult to spot the bouys.
What would you do differently?:

Wear non-shaded goggles for better visibility
Transition 1

Comments:

Didn't get to excited about a speedy transition as I was just trying to survive the day
Bike
  • 3h 26m 3s
  • 56 miles
  • 16.31 mile/hr
Comments:

Very strong head winds and driving rain dominated the first 20 miles. At least the headwind died down before I could get back to that point and take advantage of it as a tailwind. I've never ridden in weather that bad.
Transition 2
  • 03m 53s
Comments:

Again, just trying to survive!
Run
  • 2h 48m 3s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 12m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

Absolutely died during the run. Ran water stop to water stop with 30 seconds walk in between for the first half and then reduced to about 50/50 run/walk the second half. Never so glad to see a finish line as that.

Event comments:

Overall, I wanted to survive the day and finish, which I did! Hidden in the back of my head was a goal to finish in under 7 hours, which would have been doable in better weather I think. Overall, I'm quite satisfied!
