Very hot and humid and it tooks it's toll on the second run. I was dehydrated, cramping and my body was not absorbing fluids I was taking in so it ended up just sloshing around in my stomach. Very nausiated during second run!

??? Not much to do when the heat takes over like that.

The end result was good with an 8th overall and 2nd in Age Group but what a tough race. The 5PM start was hot and humid...88 degrees with a heat index of 93...I'm not sure I'd do that again. The first run and bike were pretty good. The bike had a nasty 1 mile climb at 7 percent. The second run just fell apart! The heat and humidity took its toll and I just hung on to the finish.
