Comments:

run out in middle of pack with reasonable pace. as race progressed i moved up on slower runners that went out to fast. after a certain point 1/2 way i passed most people that have passed me earlier and pick up with two sprints. with a ok finish
What would you do differently?:

I may have been able to push even harder from the start, i wanted to preserve my energy
Post race
Warm down:

walked off the fatigue

What limited your ability to perform faster:

run- preserving my energy
bike- reserving my swim energy and leg power
swim- stopping to rest on the sides
