Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I may have been dehydrated going into the run, afterwards still had some fluid in the aero bottle...may need to lengthen the long runs, build bike strength. I held back on the bike purposely to try to set up a good run --> didn't work this time.

Event comments:

good event for first time, didn't really like the shirts, kinda dull, although the finishers dry-fit was nice for a change (from cotton)
