Comments:

Was going at a sub-8 pace out of transition, legs felt great. A little more than 1/2 mile into the run I started having severe pain in my middle toe on my left foot. Turns out that on one of the decents I tore my toe nail in 1/2 and it was bent back and caught on my shoe. Pace slowed quite a bit and I even walked some. Finally got on a road for the last 1/2 mile and hit a sub-6 pace for a good part of it.
What would you do differently?:

Not break a toe nail.
Post race
Warm down:

Pick up transition, change, awards, and drive home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My toe nail.
