Comments:

Stopped after about 1 km to go to the toilet lost at lest 2 or 3 minutes. Felt good - no shortness of breath - legs got tired around the 16km mark - 18km felt pretty bad but kept running the whole way - couldn't have gone any faster with my current level of fitness. I was sick a couple of days before hand with a cold and chest infection but didn't seem inconvenienced on the day
What would you do differently?:

Go the the toilet before the race, get more sleep in the days leading up to the race - not do a hard 2 hour bike ride on the Thursday before the race
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around - had some water and a banana

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness and technique
