Pre-race routine:

clear and 74 on arrival but dropped to 68 at start and became overcast all day, few rain drops, really benefited from being in the 4th wave, bike course was sparse at the start and lots of bikes in transition still, I knew it would be cool and allow me too push harder and tried to take advantage of it

Event warmup:

None

Swim

27m 26s
2112 yards
01m 18s / 100 yards

Comments:

200 sucked trapped behind in a mound and drank lots of water finally opened up later, minimal drafting but glad to be left alone, good sighting, eventually got back to good form, extra Pam made the suit fake off

What would you do differently?:

Swim better in the scrum

Transition 1

Comments:

Comments:

Had to pee bad which took another minute

Run

1h 53m 57s
13.1 miles
08m 42s min/mile

Comments:

Took 3 cups water at each stop one on head one on back and drank one, used fuel belt with hammer gels 2bottles, nutrition worked well, started off at 8:30 passed and tried to hold it steady, one split at 9, the coolness saved me

Post race

Warm down:

Water and fresh cut fruit was perfect

What limited your ability to perform faster:
