Crazy run course. It was nice to have mile markers each mile.I felt like I was on the verge of cramping the entire run(quads), I did cramp last 100 yards(hamstring).Ran first mile at 7'36", but faded badly.
What would you do differently?:

More run miles.
Post race
Warm down:

Accelerade. H20, energy bar.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training miles.

Event comments:

Nice location. Weird triathlon distances(a strong cyclists dream). Race director & staff were great. I thought the results were lame! Three days to get overall results(with no T2 times?) is pathetic. I would suggest another timing company. Not sure this is a good $90.00 entry fee value.
