started in middle of pack and had a fast 1st half. minimal contact and sighting was perfect. I hip drafted a guy and used him to sight as he was a tab bit faster than me but sighted a lot and would slow each time he popped out, so i side sighted him and prayed he led me home!

Swim harder.

The run from water to bike was LONG! especially since i was in the front racks.Flying bike mount went well.

I got a cramp at the end of the ride. also since the course was so "technical" and I was so concerned with keeping from being passed by anyone, that I wasn't drinking anything. (probably the reason why I cramped).

drink often as it a HOT

Had to take a moment to suck down some electrolytes as i didnt drink on the ride much.

Go faster, drink more

This course is brutally hot and awkward. uneven gravel surfaces and tight passing paths and radiating heat make the run uncomfortable.

I had a cramp the whole time from the bike ride in my right rib and it would only allow me to run a certain speed before it would just radiate in pain. So I basically was trotting the whole run.

stop less and drench myself to keep cool

lemonade and an apple as I cheered in everyone else.


heat, not eonough fluid intake and cramps.


Same as last year. Poor spectator support. Parking sucked.
