Comments:

I was surprised at how difficult it was for me to keep up at the 7 minute mile pace. I had only run once since the Lake Geneva Triathlon because my right calf has been hurting. However, I thought I would have been able to maintain better from my summer conditioning.
What would you do differently?:

I certainly would have done better with more conditioning leading up to the race, but I can't blame myself for not doing more since I was nursing an injury. I did swim and bike in the two weeks prior to the race but this race taught me how important it is to get in practice on each of triathlon's 3 sports. Interesting, how I seem to learn a little lesson out of each race I complete.

Warm down:

Stretched and rode my bike home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Calf injury

Event comments:

Nice flat course. It was kind of fun to be in such a small race where you could finish in such a high place. The start being 4 or 5 blocks from my house was great!!

Must be some sort of screw up on the Total Time section of your race report.  Shows it took over 8 hours to do a half mary.  I figured out your real time anyway.  Good job!
