Warm down:

hit the slip-n-slide, try not to die

What limited your ability to perform faster:

sheer lack of training.

Event comments:

for a local 70.3 that's not wtc branded, they did a good job. run was insanely well supported. i think had i been properly trained, i could have been dangerous on this course. until the last bit of the bike when i ran out of gas, i had a pr in me.
