Swim
Comments: Nice going in Wave 3 but still seemed like a lot of traffic in first 300 meters. What would you do differently?: Pushed a little harder. Transition 1
Comments: Probably 400 yards from swim exit to T area. Used wetsuit puller which helped. Sat down to put bike shoes on. All good. Even remembered to transfer Garmin to bike. What would you do differently?: Could have gotten into shoes on bike. Set up pedals with rubber bands. Bike
Comments: Felt good on the whole ride and passed some AG's near the end. I was passed by many faster males in later Waves but tried to keep average speed around training speed. Drank 2 bottles of Infinite and 1.5 bottles of water given at water stops. Had 2 Expresso Hammer Gels. Transition 2
Comments: Sat down to put socks on Run
Comments: This run was a disaster for me. Started out first 2 miles steady at 9:30 and felt comfortable. Then my stomach started hurting and lost some contents. Walked a little and legs started burning. Went to a 4:1 run walk for a couple of miles which slowly deteriorated. Drank a cup of water and coke at each water stop but the humidity was very high and I was sweating heavily. By mile 10 I was only going 1:1 run/walk and feeling a bit dizzy at the end of each run segment. Finally ran in the last .3 miles but just about dropped at the finish. Must have been dehydrated and low blood sugar. What would you do differently?: Look for a better nutrition and hydration strategy for run. Longer training runs would have helped me deal with the heat. Wear compression socks on lower legs which I forgot. Post race
Warm down: Lay down, drank 1 water and 1 IM sport drink. Event comments: Rain and long food lines were a drag at the end. Finishing area was packed with 3000 participants and others. Last updated: 2011-04-09 12:00 AM

Overall Rank = 1835/2950
Age Group = 55-59
Age Group Rank = 41/70
Check in and bike set up on Saturday. Woke Sunday at 4:45, ate bannana and Power endurance bar. Parked near T area and set up area. Learned that my age group was in Wave 3 instead of the usual Wave 18 or so. Happy bout the early start.
The venue really didn't allow for much warmup except stretching and visualizing.
