Comments:

Compared to where I practice this was quit hilly. Had to get out of the seat several time to make the hills, but also hit 30+ mph on some down hills and even maintained 20 mph for a few flat stretches.
What would you do differently?:

Could have drink a little more sport during or taken some sport beans. Had some cramping in legs in T1 and again during the run.

Comments:

Some cramping through the run ran till the big hill on the way back had to walk for about 1/4 mile and then again with another leg cramp at abput the 2.75 mile mark was able to run the last 200-300 yards.
What would you do differently?:

Need more running on hills get more drink and or sport beans during the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked out my cramps.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running cramps. Still need to work on running. Have set goal to get under 30 minutes for the 5k have a long way to go my best time for run alone is just over 32 minutes. Note even a 30 min run would have not changed my age group place in this race.

Event comments:

Course was a challenge to me.
