Swim felt really good. Kept moving at a constant pace. The swim must of been long cause my time was horrible.

My goal here was to keep a solid pace, but NOT push the bike. I wanted to save my legs for the run. I was actually surprised on my time since I was taking it easy. I could of gone a lot faster, but didn't want to risk it.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Missed my row and had to back track a little.

Pay attention. One day I would like to not have to put socks on for the run.

I was starting to hurt around mile 5. I was holding back the cramps, but It wasn't as bad as last time. I think if the hills were not there I would of been able to run full out.
What would you do differently?:

Need to Run more
Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running and cramps

Great Race. The area was outstanding. I would do this race again easily. Only issue was the water. They started packing up so fast that I needed more water.

Solid race!  We had very similar times.  Good thing you had the discipline to not push the bike in anticipation of the tough run.  Very tempting to wind it up out on that bike course!
