• Comments: There is a lot of distance between the registration, transition, swim start, finish line, transition gear bag. Count on doing an extra 2-3 miles of walking on race day. You really need to keep fluids up and keep cool with lots of ice. I used 60 cups of ice down my shirt on the run. It would be very easy to get heat exhaustion if you get behind. The humidity really adds to the heat index. With it being early in the year most folks did not have a chance to train in the heat. We had snow 2 weeks before the race. It was a hard race, but for my fitness and condition of my knee muscle it was a soiid effort on my part, especially to not walk on the last lap.
