Comments:

Course was good, rode my road bike for the comfort. Did not hit my nutrition plan at all, stomach got sour (probably from the Welch chews, too much sugar) Took too much time in the aid stations, because of stomach, but will work on nutrition better next time
What would you do differently?:

More bike time, use the tri bike, and get thru the aid stations. Also my Garmin acted up, so had to fiddle with it.

Took too much time in T2, but wanted to make sure I survived the run

Just add some more speed in T2

Comments:

Needed to run more than 3 miles or 10 in a week. My walk / run plan was good and have tons of room to improve
What would you do differently?:

Train for this race next time. but proved that I could gut out this race
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training, or lack of. No swim, 50-70 miles a week riding, and 3-7 miles a week running, won't cut it.

Event comments:

Could have had more pizza, but that is what I get for being so late
