Swim faster. I can do that by actually putting in some time before a competition.

I felt like I was going to puke in transition. That is the first time that has ever happened to me though.

I could have gone alot faster but I had to slow down to keep from throwing up.

I never really got my legs back after the swim. I got a really bad cramp in my left calf right before the first big hill. I've never had my leg lock up on my like that before. I popped a gel shot and some chews and it kicked in in about 10 -15 minutes. I gotta say though that it was pretty painful. I did ok on the rest of the course but my legs were just not there. I got stuck on the last leg as people were bunching up and could not pass.

Take electrolyte supplememnts.

T2 is always fast.

I ran pretty slowly.

Run faster.

Walked over to the porta johns (which were all pretty gross and out of paper).


Cramps & bad swim course.


There was not reallly alot of organization throughout the race. From the the swim course bouys to the run. I think in general it was just poorly organized. People were driving on the run course and walking/standing, walking their dogs etc. while there were still racers on the course. I don't think I'll do this one next year.
