Comments:

I've gained around 7 pounds since tri season, and I haven't had a HR over 132 since August. Since I generally run about a 6:30-6:40 mile pace, it seems that the combination of the extra pounds and no speed training have robbed me of about :30 seconds per mile right now.
What would you do differently?:

Started too far off the line, which cost me a minute or so.

Warm down:

Three beers
