Comments:

I did great. Felt a couple of cramps coming on in my calves at first but they went away. My hip as a non-factor, but not quite 100%. Ran in the sand and still did 20 min. Good run.
What would you do differently?:

More water on the bike to avoid cramps.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing :-(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough running since Cohasset but that will change in the next 3 weeks as my hip continues to heal.

Event comments:

I'm totally stoked. Great day, great race. Did what I needed to do on the swim and run. My bike benefited from all of the bike work that I've done instead of the running over the last 4 weeks.

I question the distance. It looked short and the times are FAST. I did a good job starting at the back of the pack, taking my time and swimming my own race. The water was nice. I felt good about this leg.
