Comments:

Running is my strongest suit but was the weakest link in the tri - the feeling after getting off the bike and having to run up a hill was not fun and my legs felt like jello. I struggled with it and had to walk a little but still happy with how I did since it was my first
What would you do differently?:

practice bike/run trans so I don't have jello feeling legs :)
