Warm down:

Almost keeled over and passed out. Coughing up junk for 10-15 minutes afterwards. Walked for awhile and reclined in the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Illness.

Event comments:

Good atmosphere as Arnold started the race for us, he was late but he was there! Do not get there so early for the pump part of the event. Next year be ready to rock and roll on the bench! Nice effort considering I had been sick most of the week.
