Post race
Warm down:

Lots of stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

COMPLETELY underestimated the altitude factor. Teh course was at 8600ft and I live at 3000. It was difficult to breathe the entire race.

Event comments:

Very fun event but I had no idea what I was getting into. It was my first tri ever and I didn't realize how rugged the mountain biking would be nor how much it would take out of me...
