Swim
Comments: Missed the swim start. Opted to just do a duathlon and waited for the first few swimmers to come into transition and then cross the mat and get started. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Mounted the bike and headed out of transition. Steep climb out of the park and I put the hammer down. SNAP! Chain breaks. Turned around and coasted back to VO2's tent and Peter got my chain back in order after about 10 minutes and I was off and riding again. Rain was brutal and made descents difficult as I could not see where I was going. Around mile 20 my chain started to creak again and being this is a hilly ride started to ease up a bit just hoping to get through it. Nope... SNAP! Mile 23 my chain breaks apart and I am sitting stranded on the side of the road. Thanks to Nancy from Train Smart for picking me up and giving me a ride back to transition. Transition 2
Run
Comments: I was considering running but given the events decided it was best to just call it a day. Grabbed my stuff, loaded up the car and headed home. Blah. Post race

Sleep
It was raining that morning pretty good and temps were in the 50's if I recall. Basically just a shitty day to start with. For some reason I set the wrong alarm on my phone when I went to bed so I was awake in time to get to work no where near early enough to load the car and drive 45 minutes to the start. Ughh....
Driving like a Maniac to get to the race start. Missed it...
