I cannot swim in a straight line. I probably swam >1mile. My other observation is I need to do more open water swim practice. Without a wall to push off of every 25 yrds, the distance seemed to require more exertion. During the 2nd half of the swim, I starting sighting every 5-7 strokes.

Stay on course better. Practice open water swims. REMEMBER TO REMOVE WEDDING RING

I purposely took my time, apparently more than anyone else on the course this day.

I want to practice speeding this up some.

I was doing great for the 1st half of the ride and then I started to shut down - Once I turned onto Pepper Rd. My stomach became like a knot and it was difficult for me to put anything in my stomach. I ate 1/2 of a gel and drank 3/4 bottle of accelerade, but it was becoming increasingly difficult

Acclimate to the high temps. I felt like I was doing everything very well in the 1st half of the ride - I passed a ton of people

Again - I was trying to race through the transition. I was taking my time. I forgot to take my cycling shorts off and wound up running with them

Remember to take cycling shorts off (I had my jammers on underneath)

Because my stomach was in knots, it was extremely difficult to run continuously. I spent alot of time walking.

Get acclimated to heat - practice running in the heat

Ate some oranges and drank lots of water. I went into the lake to cool down.


Heat and my stomach being in knots. My legs felt fine during the run, but my stomach would go into convulsions as soon as I started to run...
