Good overall swim. Tried to take it easy and use the swim as a warmup for the bike. Actually surprised with a fast time.

Not much, good overall and left the water not tired.

Not bad, there was a long staircase up from the beach to T1, so that made it a few minutes longer. The wetsuit came off easily and I took my time putting on my shoes and gloves.

Nothing

Overall a good bike segment. Made sure to take it easy and have energy left for the run. Just need to spend more time on my bike and become a better biker. Got passed by a lot of people in the first 20 miles. I was able to cruise with the tailwinds going north, but coming back south was rough.

Only have one bottle of IM cocktail and drink more cytomax on the bike.

Took my time again, but lost some time looking for my visor. Wasn't sure if I wanted it or not, but I'm glad a took it. It was hot on the run.

Once again, really need to work on my run. It's always my limiter in triathlons, although I do pretty well in running-only races. Just have to keep practicing long bricks. Very hot out there and had to do a lot of walking, along with everyone else. Also starting cramping near the end.

Drink more.

walking around


cramps


Could have used more bottle exchanges on the bike, but other than that it was a great race. I would highly recommend it and it usually isn't 90 degrees in September in Minnesota.
