Stretch, chit chat

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The newest addition to our family, Earl Odin, was born less than 48 hours prior to the start, but Katie said I should go race.
Not much training in the last week, very little sleep in the previous 3 days. Looked at this as a long workout.

Event comments:

Packet Pick-up was a cluster, bike computer and garmin had the distances off. Fun race, still beat Todd even though he passed me on the bike.
