Train a little more!

Nothing.

What a tough course! Started on a hard uphill and never got easier. The wet roads made descending scary and the ascending was slow. It was fun though!
What would you do differently?:

Hill repeats in training!

Comments:

Slippery hill to run down with dead legs after the bike course. Then had to run back up to get to the real run!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Calf burning extravaganza! Slow uphills and just kept picking up the feet as fast as I could going down. Treacherous course for a mediocre runner!
What would you do differently?:

Run more in training I suppose.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around for a bit, then drive home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The course and the lack of training I did prior to the race.

Event comments:

So many excellent volunteers! Great community to have a Tri!
