Comments:

Started off fast and used the net downhill over the first mile to gain some time but I didn't kill it. 2nd mile was harder with more climbing but I still felt ok. Pushed the last mile home trying to catch a few guys but couldn't. Tough finish uphill.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Tough course to pace on.
Post race
Warm down:

3.5 mile run home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Really no speedwork over the past few months as I was in Ironman mode. So I'm quite happy with this. Dropped 54 seconds off my time from when I ran it in 2010. With a good offseason, next year could be interesting.

Great job!!  For having done little/no speedwork this season, 3rd AG and 9th OA is pretty darn awesome.  Plus improving your time by that much clearly shows how much you've improved over the past 4 years.  Keep up the good work and congratulations!

BTW, your RR title just about gave me a heart attack.  I'm doing the Longmont Oktoberfest tri tomorrow and had a jolt of, "OMG, was the race today, not tomorrow?!"  Thanks for the little HR boost.

In November of 2000, I noticed that I was losing the feeling in my toes. The sensation traveled up my body and within a week, I was nearly 80% paralyzed.

First, with your upcoming 5K, I strongly advise you to check out the “Couch to 5K” training schedule. This training schedule is a GREAT way to get back into running safely and wisely.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had weight issues. I remember standing on the scale as a child weighing 60 pounds and feeling fat. My family dealt with stress by eating.
