Comments:

Did not eat for first 5 miles...just drank water...First 6 miles were great...then sucked (6 miles I was at 7:20 pace) From not eating on the bike i had major stomach cramps and had to slow down for the next 3-4 miles walk/jog) Stopped and walked every aid station drinking gatorade and power gels. At mile 10 I was able to start running again and ended with another 7:20 mile. Felt good for most of it but i know I can do so much better without getter more fit.
What would you do differently?:

Eat more on the bike...Find a new way to have my gels...the ones I like
Post race
Warm down:

Massage...Stomach still hurt

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Eating on the bike and the start of the run

Event comments:

I could have done better I had just ate
