Comments:

Really fell apart last 2.5 miles near cramping so had to back off. Last couple of miles were almost 10 min/mile. Very disappointed after a much better run in Michigan. Did not feel over cooked off the bike, but did not ever feel like I got in a good running groove.
What would you do differently?:

Powremeter for bike to make sure I pace it better. I am probably not good enough to have the best time of the day.
Post race
Warm down:

Drink Sprite and walk of nausea.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself, Maybe bike pacing, Maybe just a bad run day. Just need to put all three together.
