Mixed feelings about the run - wish I could have gone faster, but was so depleated from not eating on the bike. Plus, I was getting way too overheated - close to blacking out at times. But continued with my encouragement to others, which helped me too!
What would you do differently?:

Train more in the heat. Oh yea, and run faster!

Pizza

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and not eating well
