The hills on the bike come back to haunt you on those short punchy ups and downs on the run.
First 70.3, it's tough to pencil out because, as you've experienced, you just don't know how the body is going to respond.
A 70.3 course w flatter bike and run, and a lake swim would certainly be faster. But what's the fun in that?

True. Very very true. It's Tuesday and my quads are still quite tender. The race was very fun, and I'm 100% certain I will give it another go next year and see if I can have a better performance. See how close I can get to 5 hours.
