Post race
Warm down:

Sat down under a tree with C and the Frenettes and waited for my head to stop spinning.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sucking at swimming, bonking on the run. Basically, I SUCK in any race that isn't a Lake T sprint!!

Event comments:

Some mile markers on the run would have been nice. Another aid station on the run too.
