this was tough! After really having to ride hard just to get through the course, the run was going to be painful. I tried to slow down and relax but ended up having to walk some of this.
What would you do differently?:

slow down a little more so I could keep running
Post race
Warm down:

walk around and drink water and FRS

What limited your ability to perform faster:

NO training in the last 2 weeks due to work hours

Event comments:

This was a great race! I've never done a Mt bike tri before and it was really tough going especially on the run. The only thing I dind't care for was that I had bought a lunch ticket and there was no drink included, no water or soda or anything included and I thought that was a bit cheesy. Otherwise, a great time and I have this race on my calendar for next year already.
