Comments:

There was a very strong current which made this swim very difficult. Everyone seemed to have slower than usual times, but i'm still a bit disappointed. Also the millions of jellyfish were really annoying, kept having to swipe them off.

Comments:

Tried to make up for the swim on the bike. I cracked about 20ish miles in, just couldn't make the legs go anymore. I think part of this was that I trained through the race, didn't really taper and had some fatigue.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Run

Comments:

I had already blown it on the bike so I knew the run would be rough. Kept it together pretty well for the first 3 miles but just ran out of gas. I think if i had tapered this whole race would have been different.
