walked around the finish line fest. Drank a water, ate chicken burrito

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I almost bailed on this race because I didn't complete much organized training in April, May and June. My ironman friend told me to suck it up and do it, to gauge myself and organize my training for Irongirl in August.
