Ironman swim... And everyone wants to be on the cable. Took it easy and enjoyed it!

Tough, hilly course. Did pretty well pacing myself - not going out too hard on the first loop. Should have had more to drink as I crapped up a bit as soon as I started the run...
What would you do differently?:

More electrolytes...

Post race
Warm down:

Post-race massage then walked about 2-3 miles home! Oops!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Needed more bike miles in training. With more miles I probably could have done a 6:00 bike and been fresher for the marathon. Had I known I was just minutes away from breaking 5:00 in the marathon I would have pushed a bit more in the last 2-3 miles.
