Had a very hard time at the start with the high humidity.
As a result my first few miles where at a 11 to 12 min/mile.
It cooled down later and I was able to get to a sub 10min/mile.
What would you do differently?:

Put antichaffing gel on my legs

Get medal, walk around, drink muscle milk and beer.

High humidity at the beginning if the race

Event comments:

On my way home I suggested to my wife to pick up 31 cu.ft. of soil
This lead to a 3 hour yard work experience post race.
I should have just be quite, go hom and relaxed.
I think I just did a "redneck"-triathlon:
Run, Lug bags of soil, plant
