Swim was good. I need to focus on the swim to get a jump on the field in the future.

First Iron Transition. Did a good job.

Bike performance was below expectations. The second loop was filled with some self doubt, when I passed Shosh my head was in a bad place and I was questioning whether I would be able to finish.

Luckily I got my head back on the climb back up to Lake Placid. It was amazing to see the whole Rye Tri crew on Papa Bear. Definately screwed my head back on in preparation for the run course.

Nutrition planning on the bike was a it dicey. I should have carried concentrate of my drink rather than trying to bring the real thing stashed in special needs. should look into a sippy thing for concentrate so that I can be more self reliant and get my drink as I need it rather than when it can be picked up.

First Iron T2. Forgot my computer on the bike. This caused me to have to re grab my bag from the hangers. Switched up to a new tri suit, not sure that I would do that in the future.

1) Stick with one Tri Suit.
2) Try to remember the computer when hopping off bike

Walked the run. Foot Pain plus exhaustion caused me to just walk it. Found Shosh on the second run loop around the barn; that helped my head immensely.

Some Pizza and Coke (heavy) in the finsher's area. A few bottles of water/malto back at the hotel.


My run conditioning was below usual because of recovery from my stress fracture. It would be interesting to see what my potential run time would be if I was able to have a regular trajectory on my run training.
