Felt fine on the run. Legs were dead from the bike and I could not get any speed going on the run. Felt fine, just legs felt like dead weight
What would you do differently?:

More brick workouts.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough brick workouts and getting lost on the bike

Event comments:

Not having enough volunteers and letting bikers get lost on the bike (there was a lot of them) is really crappy. It was frustrating considering my time would have been an improvement on last year, but now I will never know. Worked too hard for stuff like that.

Run was a one mile loop with a single aid station. Sufficient, but a little bit nicer course could have been laid out I think.
