Heart rate was to high I need to slow down a little. I sprinted the first 400 too fast

Time was measured to out of transition area, so I took off 3min and added it to T1 time.

More even pace

Running is literally my Achilles heel. Today was very hot and as I said before my legs were fried by this point.
What would you do differently?:

Need to incorporate some speedwork into my running. Ultimately I am to heavy (6'0 195lbs) and need to lose another 10 or so.

Event comments:

Overall I am pretty happy given that this is my first Triathlon this year. And really the first one that I have specifically trained for. I am definitely addicted. Filling out this report makes me realize how much more I need to pay attention to during the race.

Well done. A 1 mile and 3 mile climb sounds nasty. The temperature must have made it tough as well.
