Course was DEFINITELY short - everyone had good times. Found a girl going my pace and stayed on her feet. Kept me focused. Just told myself "only to the next buoy" every time I started feeling panicky. Flipped out when I saw my time coming out of the water.

Nothing - take more swim lessons to get better in generral.

Good transition for me, though wetsuit stuck a little bit. Had given myself 5 minutes in my race plan, so can't complain.

Learn how to do a flying mount.

Started off strong, even held myself back a bit in the beginning. However, the heat started to take its toll on me at mile 30. Made it to the aid station at mile 50 on sheer guts. Got off the bike to grab water and give my legs and back a break and ended up puking everything up until I was dry heaving. Felt better afterwards, but collapsed at mile 53 and was taken to medical when I couldn't stand back up under my own power.

1.) FIGURE OUT NUTRITION FOR THE HEAT.

2.) Work on bike fitness. I had let it slide after Tinman.

Laid down in medical tent with IV and oxygen.


Nutrition and the heat.


Good race, although not enough aid stations on the bike, especially on such a hot day. They also didn't have ice or sponges.
