Comments:

Very bad performance. I hoped to run at most 02:30. I did a lot of walking breaks as my knee hurt badly.
What would you do differently?:

Do not underestimate the 1/2 IM distance! The 90km bike stage can really pump you out and you're left with nothing to keep good running pace. In 2014 I'll be doing only OL distances (family reasons and to provide better base for next 1/2 IM race)
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

To little base training. This 1/2 IM race was done in my second triathlo year. Too early!

Event comments:

I wanted to accomplish the race - this was the main goal.
Second goal was to finish in 6 hours - did not managed it. Oh well... Next time will be better because I know what to expect and that I must train better/differently.
Half IM is not simply 2x Olympic!
