I began to cramp almost immediatly out of T2. My bike was too hard for my level of training. Consequently, it was a long and miserable run/walk.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too fast on bike, not enough long bike training.

Event comments:

My goal was to go under 6:30 in this, my first ever HIM. While I achieved that goal, I paid a steep price physically. It was tough, but I will be better prepared for the next one.
