Very hilly and loose rocks.
What would you do differently?:

Cramped out at mile 2. A slower pace through the rocky flats would have prevented it. Maybe drinking more water on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Beer!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was nervous about the altitude. I tried to save too much in my reserves, and I never really needed to tap them. Swim should have been 2-3 minutes faster. Transition was slow due to socks, gloves, and camel back. Minimalist next year. Run was what it was.

Event comments:

Loved the race, the experience, etc. Will be there next year for sure!
