BONK, for the second time cold water got the best of me. It cost me a good 20 min. Caused some hyperventilating. the last 20 min I finally calmed down and got in my grove.

What would you do differently?:

Practice swim before the race to prepare for the water temp.

Transition 1

Comments:

The volunteers misplaced my mini transition bag. Lost time looking for it. Other than that good bare foot warm up run ( appox .5 mi) and transition.

What would you do differently?:

nothing

Bike

1h 16m 36s
18 miles
14.10 mile/hr

Comments:

Good bike ride. Could have pushed it a bit but wanted to save some gas for the unknown run. Only problem was people not listening to on your left on the down hills; as a result I had to ride the brakes way too much.

What would you do differently?:

Push it a bit harder.

Transition 2

02m 56s

Comments:

Good T2 a bit longer on the socks than I wanted

What would you do differently?:

go faster

Run

1h 44m 24s
8 miles
13m 03s min/mile

Comments:

good run wanted to keep HR between 145-150. For the most part stuck to the plan. Sand and sand ladder was taxing.

What would you do differently?:

push it a bit harder

Post race

Warm down:

minor stretching in the shade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bonking the swim put me behind the eight ball

Event comments:

Top notch, well oiled machine. Very pleased with the race. Wish I didn't bonk the swim. No major critiques to improve it.
