By the time I was on the run the temperature was in the low to mid 80s but it was humid so it felt very hot. I struggled on the second half of the run. Thank goodness for water stops every mile with cold ice water and wet towels!!!
What would you do differently?:

take in more nutrition on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Sitting in a 'mist' tent for 1.5 hours trying to stay upright!!! Should have just went to the med tent and got some fluids!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor nutrition with a hot and humid run!

Great venue and good race organization.

Overall a very good race. I probably could have shaved maybe 10 minutes off of my total time had I eased up on the first run and bike but I was very pleased with the race. I suffered greatly on the second run but it happens! This was a very long duathlon!
