Really wanted to push the bike, to get a lead on the runners, but just felt a bit out of it, kept pushing but could not get above 20 MPH, which I need to get a lead on the fast runners
What would you do differently?:

Maybe start a bit slower, don't know, ride more ??

Great T2, changed a bit on the transition to running with a "shoe horn" for my zoots, worked great

None, I did have some issues clipping my Garmin on my wrist band other than that it was good

Well want can I say, I really hate to run, but the heat started kicking in, walked the water stations trying to keep my heart rate down, got passed by some many, I lost count.

Start running more - DUH - I just love to ride and swim
