In my lane I was lapped two to three times. Tough on the non existent confidence. Final time was double my sprint time 6 weeks prior and only 26 seconds slower than projected time.

Swim more, rest less!. I spent time and mental energy looking for my family. I need to train and prepare better.

Grabbed a drink, forgot camel back and had to go back and pick it up.(good choice)

I need to practice more on the transitions. Tighten up heart rate strap pre race and ensure it is connected well. It splipped off and hung loose in my jersy in the first 1/2 mile of the bike.

Ride felt pretty good, passed 6 people in first 5 miles, and one more in the first 10. Struggled keeping up pace as approaching town. Early climbs went better than expected but may paid the price for it later. Comming off the bike, extremely sore in the crotch muscles too tight couldn't get loosened up to run. Also didn't or couldn't push myself to catch the folks I saw in the distance. Discovered later, saddle height had slipped (attention to detail). Maybe that was contributor to tightness.

Maybe take it a little easier through the first big hill. Confirm seat height!!

Took time to stretch, needed more. If the legs/crotch would have been alright it probably would have been my best T2 yet, but alas...

Stretch out coming in on the bike in the last mile or so, do more Bricks after hard rides instead of spins.

Just kept running at all times regardless how slow, could never really loosen up the legs and when they felt "OKAY" then I couldn't push the heart.

Walked to transition, grabbed some stuff went to hotel for shower and stretch. Came back to clean up Transition area and then get results and lunch


Cramps and stiffness coming off the bike, needed a larger training base for heart
