Hard run - pretty high heart rate at start, with lots of hills. Had a side stitch most of the run (where the hell did that come from, haven't had one of those in years) and borderline nausea most of the run.
What would you do differently?:

Probably less accelerade, more water on the bike, maybe ease up just a tad at the end of the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around and cheering on my co-workers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming - need more work.
Need more hill training (both bike and run)

Event comments:

Good race, well organized - will certainly be back next year, and try to get under 1 hour 30 minutes.
