Warm down:

walk, wait for Sarah...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was trying to be disciplined and not go out too fast on either first run and the first half of bike (which I succeeded in doing and thus bettering my time by 6%) but I felt like I could have pushed the pace a bit more on the runs and the bike and was a bit disappointed I wasn't faster on the second run...

Event comments:

goal for next year is 2:00:00 realizing that 2/3 of time is on the bike, 1/6 on first run and and 1/6 on second run...goal of 1:15:00 on bile...
