A tough day due to wind. I had hoped to average 21 on the day. I was pretty close. I've built some cycling speed from last year and will continue to build more this winter.

Nothing really. I felt I stayed within myself on the bike.

Sunglass lenses fell off so I left them.

Just need to work on being quicker.

This was a well below average run for me. I let the swim cancellation, race day weather, and the fact that the first four miles were trails get me off focus. I had a difficult time pacing on the trails and ultimately came out to fast for the terrain and conditions. It got humid quickly which doesn't help my run. I finished the run but I quit the mental battle early. I used new gels and used salt tabs which I don't normally and got heartburn-- this didn't help either.

Nothing new on race day! Duh!
More humidity training and more focus on mental toughness.

Walking around the expo and Main Beach. Message was awesome! It hurt like heck but she worked the kinks out. Pizza and then off to lunch.


My attitude and focus.


It was a well organized race and DRC does a good job. For a HIM, I had hoped for more spectators but this is a small venue. DRC handled the weather and other issues well and made the right calls whether we liked them or not. I may do this race again one day but next year it will be too close to IMFL.
