got a little off course on the start of swim... once on course felt pretty good.. at the end of swim heading in hit a sand bar a 100 yards or so prior to finish, got up started running and undid my wet suit...oops water got deep again and had to swim with top of suit dragging.

wait until i am on the beach before any wet suit removal.

for me this was a rather good and smooth transition.

did everything how i planned, just try to execute is faster, but happy with it.

felt great on the bike. keep up a good continuous pace and legs felt good when i was finished. maybe could have gone a little hard, but didnt want to kill myself...feeling great with the run my strength coming up....sub 5 her i come.........

nothing..

everything went very smooth...

nothing

well this is where the wheels came off.. my strongest leg of the event turned out to be a mess. my goal sub 7:30 pace for the run with first mile being around 7:45 to get loose. mile one was 7:15, feeling great. first aid station drank a little water and a little gatoraide... .25 miles later vomitting on side of road. walked the next quarter. started to feel better. started running again and about .5 mile nausea returned. this battle went on the rest of the race. a lot of walking so instead of a 1:35ish half i ran(walked) a 2:18.

not sure... i took in plenty of nutrition on the bike so not sure what went wrong with the run, was not too hot so it was not a heat factor. back to drawing board with my nutrition.

nausea on the run..


nice course, well run. volunteers were awesome. the locals were all very nice and out there cheering us on. even though i blew up on the run i had a awesome time. i will work on my nutrition and get em next time!!!
