Slow!

Practice!

Felt tired from the start, quads were sore. Somewhere about halfway got cramp in right calf, never had that happen biking before. It kept coming back the last half so I had to pedal differently and that slowed me down.

What would you do differently?:

Figure out why I get cramps so I can fix the problem!

Stomach sloshing from all the fluid I drank - which made me sick and unable to breathe well. Walked quite a bit.

What would you do differently?:

Improve my running, tempo runs, speed work, hill repeats - all the things I hate to do.

Post race

Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Calf cramp, sore quads, dehydration, stomach issues.

Very well organized, good awards, nice shirts, good food. Would do again.
