Eventhough it is a PR ...I believe I could have had a better Bike, but I won't cry about it. Was veryhappy with the negative split which means pacing was right on. Just didn't feel as strong today on the bike.

Not much..just felt off.

Dissappointing run...cramping thorugh out...first two laps felt steady...last two were shaky...could not get uinto high gear due to danger of cramping up totally....one day will work on this...now time off.

Have to work nutrition and bike to run pacing better.
