Swim
Comments: Decent swim in calm waters. Managed to draft about 75% of the time. Swim seemed a little on the long side, maybe closer to 2k. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Good bike for me and felt strong. Nice to start in one of the last waves, as I was able to pass some people in the waves ahead of me, and this really gave me confidence. I bit of tail wind on the way back to Calella which helped me pick of the pace. Had about 2.75 bottles of Infinit half ironman custom mix. Transition 2
Run
Comments: Really tough run as it was brutally hot with no shade and no breeze. Tried to drink some of the High5, but this seemed to upset my stomache after trying 2x. So stuck with 2 Roctane (1 about 35mins in, and the other about 1:15min in). Used the sponges down the back of my top which helped a lot. 2 cups of Coke at the last aid station which gave a bit of a boost for the last 20min. Post race
