Felt terrible after bike. Stomach cramps, tired and little motivation. Walked up the hills, jogged down for the first 5 miles. Ran a comfortable pace the last 8 miles.
What would you do differently?:

more bike training! The bike wore me out before the run even started.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, gentle stretching. Pizza and plenty of liquids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. I started my training with very little base. About 2 more months of base building would have made a big difference.
