Comments:

again what a difference the right equipment can make! I got Brooks T7 racer just few days before the race and only ran 3 miles with them. My legs felt so light off the bike. Also running NYRR races during winter must've helped a lot.

Ate banana, peach and got massage! Thanks to Amber from the massage school in Westport, my legs felt great next day.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of swim training
