One thing I've heard is to start hydrating like you would during the race a few days ahead of time, or at least the day before.

There's your answer. It was just too dang hot.On a side note- all 6 of us DNF'd. Nobody got further than 6 miles on the run. And two of those girls are crazy good triathletes.
