Couldn't catch my breath up the long hill and just tried to hold-on to the top. Coming back and down was much better and tried to push it. Overall felt good.

Could have pushed it a wee bit more. Fell just short of 22 min goal.

Warm down:

Ate a jimmy john.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Could have pushed a bit on bike and run. 5 min faster than last year so feel good about race overall.
