Comments:

I've not been doing well during the run portion of tris. Don't know why. I didn't put the training time in for this Oly that I needed, but my run pace was that for a Mary, not a 10K...I also stopped to walk a few times which is disappointing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Jack Weiss puts on great races. Nuff said.

Hey, hey!  Congrats!  Was that your first Oly?

As for the run...more bricks maybe?  You run fast...you just need to work on running off the bike.  So either more bricks or better bike pacing....

What's next?
