Comments:

Enjoyed, the last hill climb really, really hurt. On the final 1/4 mile down hill towards the finish both of my hammys cramped up (to close for this), just about fell, needed to stretch for a few, then was lucky enough to finish without any more cramps.
What would you do differently?:

Get in more runs the 4 weeks leading up to race. My run training was very week before this race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and ice bath

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Slacked on run training

Event comments:

The best 70.3 I have done to date as far as being organized and having a great transition setup, I don't like the two transition set up some races are doing.

Race was delayed 30 minutes for lighting

Getting a PR at a race you DNF'd the year before is Suweet!
