Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall endurance was lacking towards the end. Some back pain made both cycle and run more challenging although probably didn't interfere with performance that much

Event comments:

Not enough drink stations on run and none on bike. Well organised although swim route got confused after race briefing.
