Post race
Warm down:

Stupidly I did no stretching, just a bit of walking around. Paid for it the night after the race, Lactic acid build up made my legs very sore and uncomfortable.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Average swim navigation lost me a few seconds and an average preparation for dismount from the bike lost me a few more as well. Could have gone a little faster on the last 2km of the run.. Apart from that I don't think I could have gone too much faster.

Event comments:

JT Races always well run. Record number of entries for this one made it a little more challenging on the bike leg but it was great to see so many at the start of the swim.
