Swim
Comments: Swim was rough. I swallowed a lot of water and was just hoping that I didn't make myself sick. Both hamstrings cramped up and I couldn't move my legs...Thank god it was only 200m out or who knows what I would have done.. I actually spoke to a few people who cramped up too, one of which got pulled from the course after he stretched out on a paddler's board and then cramped up again. (My guess is sitting in that hot sun for 3 hours and then jumping into freezing water has something to do with it.) Time: 39:41 Goal: 40:00 Transition 1
Bike
Comments: Bike was very windy and had way more climbing than I expected...It just didn't seem like I had any time to relax. Either I was climbing, going into the wind or trying not to blow over. This took a lot out of me. I'm normally ready to run when I get of the bike, but after this ride I was literally telling myself that I was going to have to walk the run... Time: 2:54:25 Goal: 2:40:00 Transition 2
Run
Comments: I Walked into transition defeated. Watching everyone jog their bikes in while I didn't have it in me sucked...I switched into my running gear, taking my time, and used the bathroom. I somehow mustered up a "run"...At this point I was thinkink 5 minute run, 1 minute walk just to get through to the end. Luckily after 5 minutes, or so, my legs loosened up. I never pushed the pace, but I stayed pretty consistent and emptied the tank the last 3 miles. Time: 1:49:25 Goal: 1:45:00 Post race
