Comments:

Very rough first 200m w/ way more contact than usual. Most folks after the race were complaining about this.
What would you do differently?:

Swim a bit more outside? I gave navigation and "average" because I was doing great until the last turn, and sighted on the blue finishing arch instead of the blue transition arch, which cost me a minute or two.

Very humid, and I was feeling a bit worn out by this time. Felt like I was getting a flu bug the morning of the event and it finally caught up to me on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster, not get sick, train more.

My thinking was that with three events, I could vary my training enough so it wouldn't grow stale prior to seeing positive results and finding the additional motivation I needed to continue training.

Your self-image serves as the operating instructions of your subconscious computer. If you don’t change the operating system, you will be doomed to repeat your past mistakes.

You ride hard enough that you are working but not so hard that you can’t do the same thing the next day. 700 km or 400 miles a week.
