Comments:

ALOT of people were walking during some segmetns. I walked much more then at any other race before. I had to tell myslef right leg, left leg during the run to keep focus. It was not that my lungs or heart could not keep up, but rather that I just did not have the usual will to run because of the heat
What would you do differently?:

push myself to run faster, walk less
Post race
Warm down:

walked around,

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the bike, the heat
