Overall the race was a good one.
Swim: no current in river so slower than last year and yes many red jellyfish. my body stung the whole swim and in transition. no red "marks " though on my body.
Bike: no problem. good hills. many flat tires and loose water bottles along the way. first race where I used clipon aerobars. big difference. much more comfortable and more power. 12 min quicker than last year.
Run: everyone was feelin the heat by this point. gradual hillon west side was interesting esp when the sun hit you between the trees. Suffering from ITBS so I had to walk along the way.
A few people had to be dragged across the finish line. There legs and body just gave out.....
Felt good to finish. 3:12 vs 2:48 last year. Taking care of this ITB then will be back.
