Comments:

I hate loops. I went out to fast on the bike and so I paided for it on the run. My run plan was walk the aid stations jog the rest keep a 10 min pace. I made it to about mile 10 and the wheels fell off. I had to start walking between aid stations and pace fell drasticly. Mile 11 to finish was like 29 min or something. But I learnd a lesson so I guess that makes it better. I GUESS
What would you do differently?:

slow down on the bike. Stay within my ranges
Post race
Warm down:
