Comments:

Stuffed after first 2km, but slowly got a bit better. Still tired for whole run. Wind was strong and cold coming off lake. Body temp dropped! Used supplied poncho for 1.5 laps. Came right last half lap...becuase finish wascoming I think!
What would you do differently?:

Back off a bit on ride. Save some for run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not anticipate a wind change of direction, and increase in strength. Couple with cold rain off the lake made for a tough run!

Event comments:

Extremely well run. A great, albeit long, day out!
