Swam off course a few times like always. Probably wasted 3 minutes or so.

Transition 1

03m 49s

Comments:

Long long long transition. I was at the very back so i had to run a long way with my bike

Bike

2h 42m 1s
56 miles
20.74 mile/hr

Comments:

My actual average speed would have been faster, but there was a manditory dismount for an oil spill in the road. Of course it was on a downhill so lost about 2 minutes there.

What would you do differently?:

I think I could have pushed a little harder. Defentially need to take electrolyte pills or something. Drinking only water hurt me on the run.

Transition 2

02m 54s

Comments:

Took a bathroom break as well.

Run

1h 56m 8s
13.1 miles
08m 52s min/mile

Comments:

Was on pace for a 1:45 split and was increasing my speed with 5 miles to go. Felt really good. But then I started to feel the cramps coming in my legs. I had to slow the pace to 9:30-10's to keep my legs from locking up. I also had to stop and stretch every mile.

What would you do differently?:

Take in electrolytes. It was to hot of a day for just water. I don't like to mix gu with gatoraid so i only had water and it showed in those last 5 miles.
