What limited your ability to perform faster:

Calf still hurting pretty bad

Event comments:

I finally had the guts to admit my body wasn't healed and took the DNF. Toughest part of triathlon.

You did the right thing by dnfing. Why risk further injury and ruin your whole season? Your swim and bike were great, even with a cracked seat post!
Nice job!!

Tough break on the DNF, especially since you were doing so well up to that point.  However, it is better to DNF now rather than hurt yourself in the long term.  There will be other races to kick ass in!!  Hope tht calf gets better soon!
