Comments:

no time prior to the race to see what the course looked like. was pretty slick, lots of roots & ruts, so i was pretty cautious on the downhills and off camber stuff.

02m 35s

Comments:

had to walk a lot of the hills, my boots were soaked from sweat, water & mud, felt like they weighed 5 lbs each. the last .3M felt as long and hard as the first 3 miles.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of any "triathlon" specific training the past year.
