Made a decision to go to porta potty out of water. Good decision since sometimes have trouble peeing on bike.

try to pee in water, but since it was not a floating start didn't get chance

wanted to keep steady pace and not overdo it for the first half. Looking back should've pushed the first 15 miles a tad more

Comments:

Didn't pee on bike so I went to porta potty, good decision. After I realized I forgot my bottle of EFS that I carry on run with me. I contemplated whether to run the extra 30" back to bike for bottle, which was good decision since I like to run with drink. cost me an extra minute
What would you do differently?:

don't forget run bottle when rack bike, since transition area was big

wanted to go sub 8 on run and feel good for entire. Knew I needed to run around a 1:45 to go sub 5 for race. felt great for first 7 miles then slight twinge in leg kicked in. made sure to take salt tabs and refill bike bottle I carried. stomach also didn't feel the best but it was okay. last mile was 7:25 pace to ensure I went sub 5.
