Event comments:

No transition security. No on site medical, which my wife found out after she saw a guy come in that had wrecked and they had to call an ambulance. Took 15 minutes to get there. Very under staffed in transition and the finish line. Over all not worth doing again.

You’re probably not going to get it just right immediately. Like always, just do the best you can and keep on keeping on. Don’t get upset if you don’t hit the target every time.
