I was toast after the brutal bike course. About 1/3 the way through I finally got my running legs and was able to run most of the downhill and flats.

I will remember to take off my bike helmet!!! Train harder for hills and do more bricks.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around until I cooled down. Nice to have my Mom there to give me a hug. I ate after I had a massage and had lots to drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't train hard enough for the difficulty, but it was my first so I will do better in the nest one.

Event comments:

Timming chips would be a plus, but I think their old fasion ways of timing worked fine for me.
