Comments:

starting off the run my legs were Jello, walked the first water station but ran rest of the race. Was a very hard transition for me from bike to run struggled with keeping a good pace (obviously with an 11 min mile) I did feel good toward the end!
What would you do differently?:

need to train more of the bike to run transition
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around quite a bit. Need to stretch more at the end!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. 2 1/2 weeks was not long enough to prepare myself for this race! although the swim went better then I thought it was going to! I would like to improve my times in all three areas!

Event comments:

I thought everyone was very helpful and it was a very beginner friendly race!
