Drank about 24oz gatorade and water mix during bike, probably about the right amount but with before and after volume total was too much. Ate 2 gels on the bike.
Transition 2

Comments:

about 2 minutes run from T2 to start of run course so I included it in t2. Again drank another half a bottle of mix. really felt bloated.
What would you do differently?:

Only drink during transition if thirsty, and I shouldn't be thrirsty coming off of the bike.

lost it after the first 2.5K. too much water, no legs, loss of will power or something. Very hot on the way out with wind at your back.

Drink less.
Post race
Warm down:

None really

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think I had too much water and was affected by the heat during the run. Also I had a massage the day before, that may have been a mistake, maybe have the message after the race.
