Warm down:

walked around, poured cold water on my head as it was hot, then went to Memphis with my family and another family and layed around a pool and drank a couple of beers

heat and hills during the run

Fun race, as the top 5 in my age group were in the overall top 10, earned a third place in my age group and was awarded a Mighty Mite Triathlon Glass which was nice, overall enjoyed the race
