Pushed hard during bike. Crossed yellow line and got a penalty as I was trying to get around a cluster of bikes and was worried about getting a penalty for inadvertent drafting... Ended up getting a penalty for crossing yellow line...
What would you do differently?:

Hold back on pace - tough run as a result

Wasn't thinking clearly and lost time looking for bike rack location. Slow to get shoes on as I was fatigued from ride and heat was getting to me.

Comments:

Fatigued from the start. Mental games started at mile one. Fast walk for a count of 60 each mile and ran the rest. Probably drank too much water. Heat was an issue, but think I over did it on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Less on the bike, more on the run
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and possibly nutrition during the race.
