Up at 4am, pack the car and the family and head to the race. Ate a PB and banana sandwich on the way out with just a little coffee so I dotn get a caffiene headache during the race.

just swam a bit to loosen up prior to the race start

Decent swim for me ... had some goggle issues at the start but got it sorted out pretty quick and kept going. Probably cost me about 30-45 sec on the swim

Transition 1

03m 29s

Comments:

had troubles getting the speedsuit off and that cost me about 1 min here. Other than that, it would have been about my normal T1 time

22.19 mile/hr

Comments:

Had a plan, stuck with it, and posted my fastest bike split ever. Cant complain about that

What would you do differently?:

nothing. Went out hard but not at a pace that would kill my run

Transition 2

01m 10s

Comments:

average T1 time

Run

1h 14m 18s
9 miles
08m 16s min/mile

Comments:

considering I havent run in a few weeks due to so PF issues, this was going to be an unknown. Thought I ran well, only fell off my goal pace on miles 7 and 8 but pciked it up for the last mile to finish strong

Post race

Warm down:

lots of fluid .. could stomach any solid food though
