Not enough training before hand.

Event comments:

Okay, my biggest beef with this race is the start. What is the sense of putting up pace markers when there are two roads leading to the starting chute. Then again - its hard to manage 2500 people. BTW - it was interesting watching the fights between the runners and the cyclists

I had to fight to keep my heart rate below 175 for most of the race. Especially after the hills.
