Oh boy...I wasn't ready for the hills! See ealier comment about the run. I didn't feel like I was in a good rythem until about 10 miles. My legs felt sluggish probably because I pushed a little too hard on the first run.
What would you do differently?:

??? Not sure about this right now.

I found pain!!! The toll of the first run and hilly bike hit pretty hard. This was all I had! My legs started to cramp up on the last mile. I'm not sure that I drank enough on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Pace myself a little better.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. I wasn't sure how to train for this race so next year I'm hoping to make great improvements now that I have an idea what to expect.

Event comments:

What a first class event! The event was very well ogranized and both USAT officials and HFP officials were very helpful. Just all in all a great event with a great goody bag!
