What would you do differently?:

I would definitely push it more. I can swim faster. I kept focusing on where the buoy was rather than just swimming. I have to get used to longer open water swims.

Comments:

The hills were so hard when combined with the wind.
What would you do differently?:

I would shift to a smaller wheel next time when combating the hills and wind rather than trying to stay in my 2nd or 3rd wheel the whole time.

Run
  • 1h 04m 11s
  • 6.4 miles

Comments:

I had to walk the hills.
What would you do differently?:

I need to do more bike/run bricks to get used to the fatigue of a longer run after a tough bike.
