Comments:

I took a slower pace on purpose, afraid that I would burn out before the end. I actually had quite a bit of enery at the end.

Pace myself a little faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and talked to familiar people. Cheered my 15 year old daughter over the line, then joined my husband to wait for the race to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough energy for the bike portion. I need to bring a gel for both transitions.

Event comments:

There was a fork in the bike path that was not marked. Many people took the wrong path. I was fortunate to know the area well. Next year, a volunteer or sign would be helpful at this location.
