good bike segment considering how little I practice this, pushed too hard and may not have left enough for the run

hold back a little more to save some for run

Comments:

legs were very heavy when got off bike, especially calves so couldn't get up to any speed, also was breathing pretty heavy for first mile, kept it easy to avoid cramping in calves
What would you do differently?:

practice more transition from bike to run, take it easier on the bike
Post race
Warm down:

walked around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

transition time, heavy legs after getting off the bike, drafting and navigation on the swim, overall performance was better than I expected, especially bike time

Event comments:

OK race, good start for summer, and as first sprint
