I thought this was one of my best bike rides of all time. I was a little dissapointed with the time.
What would you do differently?:

Try and get more interval work in my training and get a little lighter on the bike too.

Comments:

Very pleased with this. I should have gotten Yankz in my shoes months ago.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe straighten up my toungues of the shoes. I think it might have given me some blisters.

Comments:

Still not were I want to be in the run but it was better than 2 years ago.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try and get some more in during the run and bring something like blocks or chomps for the run. I felt a little under nurished during the start of Mile 3.
Post race
Warm down:

Search for water, food, and friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not having a great end of July or start of August did not help me.

Event comments:

I can't think of many things that could make this race better. I just love this race.
