Good swim. A little crowded at the start but after about 200 yards it was wide open. It was difficult navigating on the return because of the sun making it difficult to see the buoys. There weren't many which made it harder.

Nothing.

Got messed up and went down the wrong row but quickly ducked under the rack but then was looking for wrong number. Probably wasted about 15 seconds. Had hard time getting wetsuit off ankles.

Use Pam on legs. Bodyglide helped but not as much.

Great ride. Loved the scenery. Since I started in the second to last wave I spent most of the time on the left just passing which felt good. Only about 4 people passed me.
I had trouble drinking. Accelerade at 94 degrees just doesn't go down easily. My stomach just felt full.

Use thermos bottle and freeze drinks.

Good transition.

Nothing.

I had a great 5k run. Too bad it was a 10k. Started off on pace, feeling good. The first 3 m iles were fine, mile 4 a bit slow, then I was finished. Mile 5 was about 11 minutes and mile 6 there was some walking. The heat really got to me, which is surprising sine I train in the heat of Florida.

Hydrate better on the bike.

Walk around, get lots to drink, eat some pizza.


Hydration. I was totally dehydrated. Drank lots of fluids after the race but hardly peed for the rest of the day.


Logistics were bad. The finish line was 2 miles from transition. I caught the shuttle bus fairly quickly but then had walk a long way to transition. I couldn't find the shuttle bus from transition back to the hotel and no one seemed to know where it was. Fortunately, I called my nephew and he came and picked me up.

Not enough porta potties. The lines were extremely long and they ran out of tp.
