Not a bad bike split but I could not get into a rhtym and my HR was high.

Comments:

I felt so slow on this run it is unbeliavable.On top of that I missed the turnaround point and probably ran 30 seconds extra.
What would you do differently?:

Not much my body did not want to go I guess one week is not enough to recover from a Half-Iron distance race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and hanged out with my son and friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably the White Lake Half which I did a week ago.
