Ran without socks and it was fine (did body glide before the race) - it was a tough course
What would you do differently?:

Run harder in the first mile - I had run the course in the heat and was too conservative the first mile.

Warm down:

Warm down?

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Rough week and not enough rest; I was also concerned about the open water swim and could have done better here for sure

It is a good race; well organized and well supported. I truly enjoyed the race.
