The water was cold, but was warmer then my unheated pool i been training in the past few weeks. There was a lot of people bumping and cutting me off completely which messed up my rhythm and had to slow/stop for them not to kick me in the face. I had good sighting, actually best yet.

Honestly I need to spend more time swimming, I am a good swimmer but could be a lot faster

i had a lot of isses with my suit on my heels,

my front tire kept loosing air, I got about 20miles out of before it was noticeably low. I had to stop a couple times and fill it. I was lucky that I brought the c02 with this time. That was pretty much the big problem, I could of used more liquids before the run.

Drink more

was a good transition, no problems

My legs were dead going into the run. Had someone run with me for the first couple miles and that kept my head off my legs. but the up and down hills took a huge toll on my legs. I got gels at the half way point and that gave me a boost in the run. It was a defiantly negative split with the nutrition.

I had the same probably that I did last year and didn't take enough nutrition on the bike/ early in the run to keep me going to the end. I need to figure out that and get my distance legs back.

I finished and jumped in the lake, was a nice ice bath for my jello legs.


basically the lack of training and nutrition killed me. I need to spend some time trying new stuff out


finial stretch puts on good races, its a good race if you want some hills.
