This was great with approx 2 min faster that last year. I felt like I was in charge of the whole race course. Passed everyone and finished in front by myself (didn't know that there was a guy from my ag in front of me).
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I charged it and did as best I could.

Better T2 this year.

Not much... my rack was almost at the other end of the T area... not by choice.

Warm down:

Met my family and went home for breakfast and my first Coke in almost 8 weeks!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to lose some more weight and notch up fitness. That being said, I made strides this year!
