Little bit of stretching, took a quick swim to climatize to the water.

Comments:

Salt water tastes bad! I developed a bad stitch in my side that stayed with me for the entire race. VERY dehydrated. Thanks for the quadruple Rum & Coke Toth!
What would you do differently?:

Not stay up drinking with my buddies. Drink H2O.

Comments:

One of my better T1's, there was no chip mat but it went pretty fast, no problems.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, everyone was pretty envious of my water dish to wash off all the sand from my feet.

Not bad for a bike that is all Aluminum, no carbon and has 650mm wheels. He worked his saddle off for me today, we make a great team!
What would you do differently?:

Try harder. Don't be such a wuss.
Transition 2

Comments:

Again, no mat, but it was sooth..ish I guess. I was a bit scatter brained and dioriented. Same thing I guess.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Hard to improve on perfection.

Comments:

Run was very nice, very senic. With all the times I stopped due to massive cramps that a weaker man would have ended his life with, I was able to take it all in. This is where the wheels came off; hamstrings seized, cramps in the side, chest and lungs were burning. Thanksfully I stopped befre hitting the run mat and grabbed a water bottle. Worst run ever.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more water.
Post race
Warm down:

The finisher meadal was put on my neck, I fell to the ground. Someone poked me with a stick to see if I was still breathing. My buddy and his wife showed me all the pictures they took. I eat a lot of the free food. Oh yeah, i drank a bit of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being a suck ass moron. The hydration killed my run and really discouraged me. I was amazed I managed to pull of a top quarter finish with my run the way it was. 1.5 seconds from a podium finsh...idiot!

See what all those core workouts did for you! You probably would have bonked if you didn't do them!
Your average bike time looks great with all the hills you had to conquer! 

Note to self rum is not a good idea before a race! I am not trying to be your mother. I see podium in your future!

GREAT JOB!

Great job Haz!! Definitely a great overall race experience from the sounds of it! And you still managed to pull off a really good time. Maybe if that quad rum was only a triple you would've made the podium!! Note for next time!!
