Felt like a great race for the wet conditions.

Wet conditions made me a bit off coming in off the bike. Was worried my feet would slip.

Run felt good. Still had trouble breathing at one point and had to back off a bit.

Need to do more sprint work to get better breathing
Post race
Warm down:

Walked the 1.5 miles from finish to transition area, changed clothes and walked back. Walked back to TA after awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Had a great race. Still need to work on getting stronger on bike and run. Need to work on transitions.

Event comments:

Great after event food. Chicken sandwiches they grilled right there.
