made it to mile 3.40 and was forced to walk. calf sleeves (new) to tight caused issues with my calves and left ankle (thanks to my stupid mistake) walk A LOT of this as I physically could not run. a lot more to come on this in my blog.
Post race
Warm down:

massaged and food

What limited your ability to perform faster:

pushed a little to hard at the end of the bike and correcting everything on the run

Event comments:

a little disappointed with the post race, B2B seemed to have a lot more going on.
