the hills were a killer, so steep, had to walk a few steps on each loop, toughest run course I've ever had in a triathlon

walked around, drank fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the hills on the run, not prepared for that

Event comments:

fun race, enjoyed the swim and the bike, the hill on the run was a killer, received a 3rd place medal in age group (was lucky, in any other age group, my time wouldn't have medaled), good to have wife and kids there to watch as well
