Held back until the last mile. The loop back is demoralizing, (didn't I just run this part). Saw the finish line and the adrenaline kicked in.

Run Faster
Post race
Warm down:

Hugged my wife. Changed into some shoes I didn't care about.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing but myself.

Event comments:

This was my first race. I lost 20 pounds getting ready for it and I can't wait for the next one. Wish I would have found triathlon 15 years ago.
