I had a great swim, freestyle the whole way no real breaks in stoke. DIdnt have to sight to often due to the large number of other swimmmers near by and the easy to follow. Must have been a great current, but even with that my time was in the top 1/3 overall.

Nothing

Went as well as could be expected, they had wetsuit strippers so that made things quick. Stopped to use the Potty.

Probably pack my Gas X on the bike instead of trying to find it after the swim on the ground. Luckly I didnt need it.

I really enjoyed the ride maybe a little to much but wouldnt have changed much for my first one. Talked to as many people as I could got lots of smiles and that helped to feed the fire for later in the day

I should have taken Sports beans or something different so I could have keep the blocks for the run. Should have tried to train with the on course drinks so I could have used it so I could have tried to get extra sports drink during the ride

As fast as needed to be. Found the rack easy enough didnt use any of the short course ticks figured with the long course it wasnt needed

I think it went well, dont need to change anything on this part

It was tough, maybe tougher than expected. Never got a cool sponge they were always not ready when I came though the aid station. Started dirnking Cokes at mile 7 and the rest of the way.

Ate something different on the bike so I could have used the Blocks on the run, couldnt stomach the blocks anymore by the half way point of the run. Should have waited and got the cooling sponge would have been worth it. Needed to take more Endurolytes during early part of the run my calfs started to cramp up with 3 miles left and couldnt push enough to get under 6:00

Eat Pizza and Drink waters


Experience, didnt sweat much on the bike so I didnt think I needed as much salt during the run and started to cramp up.


It was a great race and I really enjoyed it, I would say it was worth every penny.
