I felt pretty good on the bike, and felt descent about nutrition, and pace. Didn't pay too much attention to HR, but I should have, AS I SUFFERED LATER!
What would you do differently?:

Pay closer attention to Nutrition, and HR

Comments:

Right around Mile 5 (right after water station) I got sick. I could not keep anything down. I threw up water, and red gatorade! I didn't feel better afterward. At the next water station I would get the BURPS! I didn't drink anything again until mile 10, and @ that point I was fried. It was 95 degree's, @ 4500' and on BLACK ASPHALT! I could not rally. Very bummed about my run time, which hurt me overall.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out NUTRITION!
Post race
Warm down:

Sat under a cold shower at the finish line, and drank about 4 waters.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat, Nutrition, and Going out too hard to fast...

This is a great race, and a beautiful area. I would recommend it to everyone. They have a HUGE VARIETY OF EVENTS!
