I was all over people eary on and then settled in and swam very hard. At least if felt like it. I had such tightness on my chest that I literally could not breathe. I don't know if the suit is too tight or if I was going too hard. At first I over took a few people, then several overook me. I couldn't find anyone to draft off and found myself swimming alone the final 200 meters.

Just start out either in the back or out to the side and try to find someone I could draft off of.

Much better than last weeks! I watched a video on BT and utilized much of what was on it and it helped a lot! The suit came off with no problems.

Pull the zipper on the suit sooner.

The rain caused me to slow down some in the turns, and the wind on certain sections made it tough to hold speed, but it was still a good ride.

Nothing. Need to make sure my speedometer is working. I must have bumped to pickup loading the bike and I could see me speed during the ride.

Nice fast transistion

Take of helmet first.

I had some moderate GI distress. I guess this was good since I didn't want to push too hard and mess up my training for the weekend, but it was slowing me down.

I drank a Gatorade Endurance before the start of the race, which I usually don't do. I am wondering if this is what caused the GI issue.? I burped several times trying to settle it down and wasn't burping IHOP and I do IHOP before every race without problems.

Walked around, ate a banana,cookie, water.


Just the GI issue during the run.


This was a great race and I am impressed and happy that they did not call it off due to the weather. They were definately within thier right to call it, but they did not want to disapoint everyone who wanted to race, so when they found a small window in the weather, they started!
