Went out too fast, but got into pace by 1/2 mile, but then slowed down too much.

Comments:

Transition area was not set-up fairly, some people had bikes racked closer to exit than others. I had to go to the far end then back to the front to exit. Added to the transition time

Went out well and keep good pace until last two miles and then wind just beat me.
What would you do differently?:

No tmuch just need to work on endurance and getting more comfortable in aero bars

Comments:

Need to work on bike transition to get more comfortable with shoe removal and dismount.
What would you do differently?:

Practice the transition from bike to run more often.

Comments:

Not good- grabbed water existing T2, choked a little bit and then developed side stitch that hampered my entire run. Had to walk to to get the pain to subside to a tolerable level.
What would you do differently?:

Don't try to run and drink. Just walk while taking hydration. I have had problems with drinking on the run in past and said I wouldn't do again but figured what the heck.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked and drank gatorade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Side stitch and overall endurance

Event comments:

Took 3rd place in Clydesdale. But was leading going into final run. Better run and i win the Clydesdale. Strained lower back figure it is due to not being properly fitted to the aero bars.
