This was the longest I have ridden out side this year other than the tritech time trial which was 22.8 miles with warm up and cool down.

I puttered a bit towards the end as a results.

Also, my rear tire began to flat and was flat by the time I took the bike home.
What would you do differently?:

Get some longer rides in.

Post race
Warm down:

Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of more training.

Event comments:

The volunteers directing the run were fustrating me by waiting until you were right upon them to tell you which way to run. I wish they could figure out that a runner can use that info about 15 feet away. On one turn the same thing happened on the bike course.

The overall race went a bit poorer than I had hoped due to me being worn out by the third event in a row. Good training though.
