Disappointed with run. The gusty wind and hills on second leg of bike hurt my start on the run badly. Took 2 miles for legs to feel ok. I attribute this mostly to poor bike training. However, my run training could have been better.
What would you do differently?:

More bike and run training.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall a very good race. This was my first tri since 2004. I have other's planned this year and plan to repeat this next year to see if I can improve on my time.
