off season bike fitting is needed. I'm just not putting out very much in the way of power and speed. I also need to spin faster during workouts

Comments:

did ok here, there was a ton of sand in my socks and i worried about chafing, but it didn't become aproblem.

Comments:

the sand wasn't as packed as the year before. I did an ok job running the course this year, but walked more than I would like. had a great kick for the last 100-200 yards
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of speed training all season, speed builds are a must starting in November, and running through Feb
