What would you do differently?:

Make sure that my goggles were better. As soon as I jumped in my right goggle filled up with water. I swam the whole 2.4 miles with one eye closed ha!

What would you do differently?:

be more competitive now that I have actually completed an Ironman and know what to expect from my body

Comments:

course was very hilly and had some potholes at times
What would you do differently?:

I took my time on the bike. Next race I would train better for the bike and push it to cut down a lot of time on the finish. Spending more money on the bike literally buys time.

Comments:

I ran the first 8 miles fine and started realizing I was in the winners crowd so I took my time and walked a lot.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I would train to try to run the whole race competitively.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mentality. In my head I just 'wanted to finish' and that dictated my results. The next time I decide to do it I would train better and spend more money on better equipment.

Event comments:

It went well. Overall I just wanted to finish the race and that's what I did. Next time I will run it faster. adsfkladjsf;lkadjsf;lasdkjf;laksdjf;laksdjf;laksdjf;laksdjf;lakdsjfals;kjdfal;kafdjs

On long runs, I've been taking 4-oz of Gatorade Endurance every 10-minutes, for a total of about 24-oz an hour. Should I boost my liquid consumption on the runs?

During the race there will be plenty of opportunities to exchange bottles, so I'm thinking about going with the aero bottle and Gatorade bottle and fill up as necessary. What should I do?
