Very happy that I managed to break my goal time of 2:50:00. All be it by 3 seconds, kinda cutting it close.

Should have brought more gels. I only had one, then another in two flasks. The gel in the flask was good but would like to have had another dose of concentrated gel.

Also took advil before the start(400mg) and another 200 just after half way. I think this was great. I didn't feel any back or hip pain at all. I will do this for the Ironman as well.

Not much, just a walk to staging area. I did ride home to Victoria from the ferries thoguh, about 30km easy witha back pack. That hurt.


Worried about my hip a little bit. Thought about it too much pre-race. Maybe could have started a bit faster, but it was nice to catch people at the end rather than be caught.
