Swam pretty well and about as expected. I knew I was doing well as I was catching the waves that started before me. I maybe could have put more in but ended a little winded so it was probably just right.

I stopped at started running early... Running in the water got me out of breath, should have swam a bit further.

Right side of suit came right off. The messed with the left side for :30 before I realized the suit was caught on my timing chip. I knew it was there, I just forgot somehow.

Practice pulling it off with timing chip on. (I had put the suit on over the chip)

Bike average was 20.2 which was about what I thought I could do for 56 miles at a hard pace. I was worried the hills would drop my average but I ended about where I thought I would.

Nothing, thought bike went very well.

Went pretty well. I took an extra few seconds to down a gel and take some water.

Nothing. Went pretty smooth.

I started very strong and felt strong after the turn around. I felt OK at mile 8 but was slowing. When the climbs started I slowed a bit and was barely faster then a walk on the last hard climb. I got sorta back up to speed about mile 11.5 when it leveled off.

Not sure if it would help but maybe starting slower would have saved more for the end.

I felt upset to my stomach but they only had diet coke. I walked around for a bit, grabbed a water and some punch. Stomach settled a little and I took an apple & granola to start getting food in my system.


I think this was about as well as I could have done. Possibly handling the run a little better could have saved a little time. Also the wetsuit in T1 took at extra :30.


Great 70.3!!!!
