This swim was in mission bay San Diego. There was no current. I am very comfortable in the water so that made it easier when all these feet and arms were in my face. I thought I was heading towards a bouy and then I would be off the next tiem I looked up.

Try to stay on course more

I drank way too much sea water and felt kind of funny going towards transition. I had to stuggle with the wetsuit a little bit.

Practice with the wet suit more.

I had filled my water bottle with gatorade before the race and I grabbed the gatorade right away. Bad Idea. With the sea water in my stomach and then the gatorade, I was instantly nauseated. I stayed nauseated for the rest of the race and had nothing to drink for the bike portion. On top of that there was a problem with my gears. My bike would only go in the hightest gear or the lowest gear. I don't know if the rain had anything to do with that but it was bad. Knowing I had the run still I chose to stay in low gear most of the time.

Not but gatorade in my bottle!

I wore the same shoes biking and running so transition was quick. It was raining and everything was soaked.

Still so nauseated from the gatorade I started the run by walking. I knoew I would puke if I did not walk. I got some water along the way and finally felt good enough to run a bit

No more gatorade!!

I walked around the parking lot a bit and ate a bagel. I cried! The feeling was overwhelming.
