Comments:

DANG!! Finished the Whiskey Dick 1 mile leg in 25:02 and expected to be in the low 23's on this race. Did I set my expectations to the wrong level, or what? Either this is a long, slow course or Whiskey Dick is a fast, short course.
What would you do differently?:

Be younger and go faster. So basically, I did all I could at my current fitness level.
Post race
Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of interval training. I've been coasting along because I finish so high up on triathlon swim legs. Need to start working on getting faster instead of staying loose during the swim leg.
