Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not real sure of my limits, didn't want to use all my energy on bike, and not enough left for run. Swim is the killer... need lots of work.

Event comments:

Need consessions for supporters, no where for them to buy food drink except up at the hotel.
