Swim
Comments: What can I say? This swim was awful! There was huge chop in the water, waves crashing into you, could not see a thing under water, could not see a thing out of the water due to swimming directly into the sun, a lot of us kept getting reminded we were going off course, had to stop a lot, clear my fogging goggles and look around to get my bearings. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Body was aching for some reason, hips, shoulders etc. I was a bit soft and didn't push through the barrier. Transition 2
Run
Comments: The run itself was hard. Had a bit of chest pain during the first lap, tried slowing down (without walking) to let it subside. Had to have a toilet stop to be able to run again. I was plagued with a side stitch throughout but was able to keep it in control until the last 7 km when my form started to drop. I was walking through all of the aid stations throwing down everything (water, E3, coke) but I think I drank too much. Rather than stopping for another toilet stop I pushed on as I knew it was going to be close if I was to beat last years overall time. Post race
