Post race
Warm down:

Ran for cover! Whole family (wife, 4 kids) hung out in the hotel and never saw my first Tri finish! Hope those camera guys on the course got some pix of me!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training in water for swim, caution in the ride, stopping during the run!

Event comments:

Best organized event I have ever participated in! I've done lots of 5k's and cycling tours, but the folks on the course for this race were a cut above!
