Comments:

This is my first racing changing shoes in T2 which added some time but I can work on that. I need to switch my laces to the ones that don't have to be tied. I was dehydrated after the bike so I needed to take some time to take in some liquids.
What would you do differently?:

change shoe laces, bring liquids with me going out on run.

Ugh, this was pathetic. My legs were tired from Saturdays long run and I was tired in general plus dehydrated bc I didn't drink enough on the bike. My legs wouldn't move.

I could have pushed harder.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fatigue

Event comments:

Mileage was off and not crazy about the course loops.

My performance was okay but compared to the rest of the field I struggled. I need more practice on the bike and a better nights sleep the night before.
