Post race
Warm down:

Walked back to truck and cooled off with shower

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition on run, My protein carbo load drink spilled all over the place, so I was limited to gatorade and gel, used it at 30 min intervals, but didn't have anything for last 30 min of race.

Event comments:

It was way too Hollywood. People got in the way a lot on the bike start, plus you have to ride down a road with speed bumps, so everyone jams to get to non bump side. Slowed me down, but I happy with this race big time.
