wow was it hot.. probably picked up some heat exhaustion. had to walk a mile or so near the end on and off.
What would you do differently?:

my long runs are usually early morning. I need to run in the heat more-afternoon runs.
Post race
Warm down:

went and sat in the shade, was really feeling the heat and not feeling well

What limited your ability to perform faster:

probably went a little too hard on the bike. had a goal pace in mind but it didn't work out with the run.

Event comments:

Great race, plenty of volunteers and food. The hills and the heat took their toll on me by the end of the day though.
