Swim was good. I did exacttlly as I expected figured on around 40-45 mins. My navigation sucks! I probably added 400m to the swim.

The swim out had a cross current and I just worked it to the turn. On the return leg I pushed it pretty hard and got a cramp in the right calf when I hit the beach.

Fast Transition,

Could have been faster but I could not decide where to throw my wetsuit.

T1 time was 18th out of 1050 overall
T1 time was 4th out of 117 age group

Bike was fast and good. I did not think I did as well as I did.
I skipped some nutrition and think I padi for it on the run.

Eat more. Hade 3 Gus and water/G'aid

ZERO protien arrrrrrr

Sat down to put my socks and shoes on. figued I would be running a awhile why not try and get comfortable

T2 time was 171th out of 1050 overall
T1 time was 22th out of 117 age group

Also HR monitor took a crap so I stopped and took it off while going out of transition

WOW I dont think I had ever been so hot before in my life.

I got off the bike at 3:07 and was running by 3:09 and was pretty pumped up. I figured "no problem, you can run a Sub 2 hour Half Marry, you have done it several times in training and ran a 1:42 last month at Gasparilla" Well needless to say I should not believe my own press.

I ran the 1st 4 miles at a controlled 8:30-8:40 pace just trying to get in a groove. Than BAMMMM! the heat hit me like a Mack truck would roll over a VW bug! I mean seriously it was frigging hot. I live 6 hours south of the race site and don't ever remember it being that hot during a Tri.

The good thing was the volunteeers at the water stations. What life savers and troopers they were! THANK YOU!
Meet a few nice people durng the run and found out what a HIM is all about to me. Encouraging other to push on and celebrate with them win they finish as everyone is a champion. I never really understood that until Saturday after the race.

Stretch, Stretch, drink drink


the heat.
