just needed to keep going. stopped a few times to walk because of a cramp. not too happy with my time, but since i hadn't run the full distance, i have nothing to be disappointed about.

run the full distance a couple times before just going in all willy-nilly
Post race

walked and drank some water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my legs, my bike, my chafed legs, my training
