Felt pretty good, although my shoulder was a little sore. I think I started out a little slow but then got in a good groove after the 2nd buoy.

Maybe start a little stronger. I don't think I really pushed myself too hard in the swim, but I'm mostly okay with that. I think it would've paid off towards the end of the race.

Chugged some gatorade b/c I otherwise didn't have any nutrition for the bike portion.

This is where it all went sour. At about mile 18 or so I felt my tire hit a pothole funny. After another mile or so I noticed my back tired felt funny. Was trying to get up a giant hill and realized my tired was going flat. I kept riding for about another 5 miles after that hill before it went completely flat and I was riding on the rim. Course support was dealing with a really bad accident that happened right before, so after waiting for about 10 minutes, I just started walking (was about 2.5 miles from transition). Course support found me with about a half mile left and fixed my tire.

Bring a kit with me. I probably would've been pretty slow but it might've saved me some time. I need to practice changing tires so I can be as fast as the course support guy!

Up until the flat though I was feeling SO GOOD.

I felt pretty good seeing as how I'd just been walking for 2 miles. Everyone was surprised by my energy haha. Chugged extra gatorade again.

Nothing, it was fine.

Felt okay but there weren't a lot of people on the course by the end of my run. I think I could've run faster with people around me pushing me. I also would've been able to see what women were in front of me, which could've helped to motivate me.

Nothing, I felt good overall.

My hamstrings were on fire from walking in my bike cleats for so long. I walked around for a little but honestly I was in a lot of pain and mostly just wanted to sit. Had to be in a car for 3 hours after, which was very painful and uncomfortable by the end.


Flat tire!
