Warm down:

No warm down...muscles were a little tight so I was afraid to strenth to much.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Race partner Tim had some issuses with his knees and I did a little cramping at the 22 mile mark.

Event comments:

Great race, fantastic support from the Marines but it was a little caotic at the finish line.
