felt good, legs a little heavy at the beginning, course flat, most of the time kept in the next to hardest gear and tried to keep a high cadence, tried to keep HR around 150, in aerobars basically the entire time, first loop didn't see any other riders, saw more the second loop
What would you do differently?:

not much, pace was about right

Comments:

legs felt good off the bike, started a little fast, felt good first 4 miles, mile 5 was tough and was trying to save up a little, mile 6 felt better, surprised at time and pace (faster than a 10k I ran earlier this year)
What would you do differently?:

not much, maybe start a little slower, someone told me I need to run with my head up more, tried to keep pace tough, small steps, high cadence
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, legs cramping

What limited your ability to perform faster:

swim slower than last year, mile 5 on the run was tough

Event comments:

good race overall, was unsure of performance because of limited biking and running last few days prior, but worked out OK, person 1st in AG was 3rd overall, so I was awarded first place trophy in age group, only 2nd time I've done that
