felt good on the bike, avg mph doesn't show it though... I can only assume my slow hill climbing pulled my avg down.

not much, will practice hills more when healthy and get new rear cassette for bike!

Post race
Warm down:

got real cold 10 mins after race.. my clothes were soaked!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training breakdown due to medical issues, cold/wet weather. Didn't push myself too hard on this one, didn't want to risk any injuries, took a "training through" approach... This was also for Melissa, it was her first multi-sport event, one for the photo albums for sure!

Event comments:

bad weather race...
