Warm down:

Walk around for a few minutes letting HR come down. Stretched for a few minutes. Went and crushed breakfast #2

Event comments:

First triathlon, so it is a little hard to rate. The police weren't ready which stalled our start time. Organizers routed the run incorrectly which shortened the run by 1 mile. On the good side, the volunteers were great and enthusiastic!
