Course was hillier than I remembered. I thought I maintained a higher pace than last year - however numbers don't reflect this. I lost a water bottle inside first 1/4 mile so I stopped to pick it up - probably cost me a minute or more.

Comments:

Forgot to tie right shoe

Pick up the pace

Comments:

It was too hot and I melted down last 3.5 miles (I was at mile 4 at 2:04-last 3.43 miles took 35 minutes for a 10:12 min/mi. pace over that period)
What would you do differently?:

Probably take fewer gels (took 1 at T2 and 1 at mile 4) - stomache felt heavy.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat in lake to cool down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

fatigue and stomache issues

Event comments:

I enjoyed this race again - I just wasn't mentally at my best.
