Actually felt great swimming, I caught up to the wave ahead of mine, which made me feel faster than my actual time.

Nothing really, just need to keep working at swimming, it has become my best event

Pretty good transition for me

Still need to work on things like jumping on my bike and having my shoes already clipped in, definitely room for improvemnet

I hit a wall around mile 40, all my energy was just zapped and the last 16 miles were torture

Train. I did very little training for this race

I was cramping really bad so I took my time in T2 to stretch and use the Porto-potty

Train

Stretching in T2 did not help, both legs had terrible cramping the whole first loop and I felt like I had blisters on both feet. Second loop was a little better but in the final 4 miles I stated getting sharp pains in my Achilles tendon when I would try and run.

Train, notice a recurring theme :) this is where the lack of training really made itself known

Sat in the shade with some cold water and grabbed some food. Unfortunately they ran out of burgers at the food tent and I was left with several types of pasta salad, and Caesar salad, which didn't quite cut it but oh well.


Just didn't put the effort into my training, lost focus got burned out. Next year is a new year and I'm looking forward to a better one
