The run up the hill was burtal. I don't think I was the only one hurting going up that hill

I felt stong on the bike but I held back for the run.

Next time no holding back, If I can't run I can't run but I can do better on the bike.

easy transition, although my legs wanted the day to be over.
Run
  • 40m 1s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 12m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

Just another reminder how important it is for me to improve on my running. I've come along way, I even ran the entire time with out any walking but I've got a long ways to still.
What would you do differently?:

I think I could have picked the pace up sooner. I felt like the 2nd half of the run was better than the 1st and I still had some energy at the end. Which is good since in just 5 weeks I'll be doing my 1st OLY distance.
