Comments:

things hurt early, middle and late but surprised about time given my lack of interval training. my hr rate spiked due to my "sprint" to the finish line
What would you do differently?:

had the right amount of gu, but needed more water. more bricks and more intervals would have greatly helped!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

wasn't a lack of effort, just gotta train more
