Comments:

Running is my worst event and one I need to work on the most. I ran more of it than I did the last time but I had stomach cramps from drinking HEED and quad cramps which came and went.

IT WAS HOT!
What would you do differently?:

run more in training. No more HEED.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Physical condition, mental condition

Event comments:

Having an open course made things really difficult at times due to all the non-race foot and bike traffic.
