Comments:

Technically, I didn't place third in my age group, but this race has a cash purse, so it pulled the first 5 out of 23 out of my age group. Fine with me, I got a pretty medal.
What would you do differently?:

change the weather.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, poured water on myself, waited for Deb to come in. almost passed out when I got up too fast.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the heat

Event comments:

I think they ran out of food. by the time I went back to the tent after running to the car, there was only cole slaw, macaroni salad and mac & cheese left. Oh well. I had a great time with the gals.
