What would you do differently?:

I want to push it more on the bike and gain speed for going up hills. That is my strong point. I worried too much about saving my legs for the run!

Comments:

OUCH!!! Didn't warm up enough, right calf cramped up bad!!! Still very sore! I had to slow down and strech it out a lot. Thanks to Kelly, she kept me going when I wanted to stop and walk it off a little bit! I was disappointed in this run due to lack of stretching!
What would you do differently?:

Stretch and warm up more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My calf was horrible! Damn. I also had poor training for the 2 weeks before the race due to moving.
