Wind sucked on a portion of this, although the second loop was easier with the all the folks on the course. got hungry at about 15 miles, so i guess regular gatorade doesn't work for oly distance

Did better than last year, but was hoping for a faster split. It got hot out there and i had to use the bathroom along the way as well.

after 2nd GU, stomach started hurting.
What would you do differently?:

Not slow down and feel stronger off the bike

Warm down:

drank a powerade and sat down for a little bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not getting nutrition right for such a hot and windy day.

Good race...would have like a aid station between 2.5 and 4 mile on the run.
