Post race
Warm down:

went straight to the food and beer tent. Made the mistake of sitting down on the ground. Legs started to cramp up pretty good. Had a hard time getting up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough training on the runs and let my mind get the best of me.

Event comments:

great first 70.3. My wife went with me and we made it a great 3 day weekend. Really enjoyed the whole event. Got me hooked. Doing Ironman Florida 2013
