![]() Swim
Comments: Sighting was interesting. Unlike mass start swims I've done in the past, it was more difficult with the pack spread out to pick up a draft or a line. Instead on one alrge buoy at each corner, they had like three which was making it hard to make sure you reached the far one without confirming by sight. What would you do differently?: Sight better ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Long run in such a big transition area!! What would you do differently?: Not much ![]() Bike
Comments: Good course - curse the wind. I would have loved to hammer that course in calmer conditions. What would you do differently?: Drink more earlier. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Pretty simple transition but it was still a long way from dismount to my rack! ![]() Run
Comments: Hotter than I was used to but I think drinking at every aide station kept the cramps away. Decent tempo but needed to focus more on breathing. What would you do differently?: More fluids in last third of the bike ![]() Post race
Warm down: BBQ and Beer What limited your ability to perform faster: Wind both directly on the bike and the effort that took out from the run. Event comments: Not as big a deal as I anticipated MIM would be but the field of athletes was really first class. And of course the food after was not bad either(BBQ!)

PowerBar Harvest for Breakfast with some water and Cytomax. Lay out transition and generally just soak up the scene.
None. Felt loose and didn't feel the need to wear down especially with the heat.
