Bike was ok started of slow recovery time from run, head wind on on side was strong and forced me to keep it at a comfortable pace, back side made it easy to push, i pulled my foot out of my shoes and run to T2 with no problems me and 1 other guy were racing this helped to push me

it went on forever, started out fast not sure if that was best but i did it and kept and even pace, i passed a lot at the beginning and middle to end was passed by a dozen or so strong runners this was my plan and kept to it did not push on back end when passed and i want to push ..
What would you do differently?:

start off a little slower and build to speed
Post race
Warm down:

lite stretch and walk to transition area

What limited your ability to perform faster:

getting sick2 weeks before the race kept me from biking and swimming so i was saving some energy on the run and on the bike, getting tired on the swim kept me from going faster

Event comments:

race was late there were other events before it when i got there it was over cast and by the time the race started the sun was out, but there was the fear it might be to hot...
