I was good until the last hill. Killed anything left in the legs to make it up that hill. Definitely messed up my run. Bah.
What would you do differently?:

Dunno, I had to get up that hill no matter what. Train better for the hills.

Comments:

I could tell where dismount was, so I was off the bike WAY early. I had to switch sock as I was fighting off blisters from a training run and my socks were soaked.
What would you do differently?:

Be sure about dismount before slowing down.

Legs were shot and sun was hot. 'nough said.

Warm down:

collapse on the ground in the shade. Ate a little. Beer and Mexican food for dinner. Mmmmmm steak fajitas!

The hills on the bike. Bike, bike, bike.
