Felt good to pass people. I'm such a poor runner, it makes it all OK when I get on the bike. Caught people everywhere, hills, corners, straights. Really felt strong.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder. I had some left when the race was over.

Still not trusting my own speed.

Another great race from Run Wild Multisports. These people think of everything. They did well adapting to the situation. Love the way they encourage everyone, even the last finisher, who happened to be my sister-in-law.
