Comments:

I was feeling great until mile 4 1/2, then the wheels feel off. Up until that point was under goal time by 2 min/mile. Not sure why, but had been sick for 10 days prior to race and missed some critical run workouts. Socks were wet and got "hot spots" under most of my toes.
What would you do differently?:

bring dry pair of socks on run, or change after bike.
Post race
Warm down:

none, just tried to make it to car

What limited your ability to perform faster:

being sick and missing some key workouts during training

Event comments:

Will definately be doing it again next year and will hit more of Red Rock's races.

Nice race!  I did the 1/2 - I enjoyed the course! 

Are you putting on socks after the swim and wearing the same socks to run?  Sometimes that can be the issue for "hot spots"
