For once happy with pace since I hit by goal pace. Once agian, worse event was the run. Next year goals to loose weight and more run focused. Need to get pace into low 8:00 or dare I say 7's?
What would you do differently?:

Train harder on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Smoothies at finish was nice, changed into warm clothes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too fat to run fast.

Event comments:

Considering this was first race put on in Red Bank and the conditions, excellent race. RD made right decision to modify swim course. Excellent traffic control.
