Run was a killer in the 90+ heat and high humidity.
What would you do differently?:

Better run fitness and not take fuel belt with me
Post race
Warm down:

Walked, lots of ice water and ice on head. Got a massage and stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Humidity on the run. Better bike and run fitness, push the swim a bit more. I know by next year I can take at least 20 min off my time and hopefully break 5 hrs. This year the goal was 5.30 and I beat it by 6 min so I am happy.

Event comments:

Great run race, awesome volunteers and citizen support. Great venue for an Ironman. Roads are the only shitty part. There were so pure awful stretches of road.
