Comments:

Not too bad! Could not feel my feet because they were so wet and cold! Forgot to put on race belt with number! No one noticed I did not have it on.
What would you do differently?:

I would have a 2nd pair of running shoes in transition due to the rain my socks and shoes were very wet. Would have helped to have a second set to change into. Remember to put on race belt with number!

Comments:

I could not feel my feet because they were wet and cold. Couldn't run the last mile because I was literally going to pee my pants if I did. Complete downpour by the time I finished.
What would you do differently?:

Should have stopped at bathroom next to drinking station. If i had taken the time I could have run and finished sooner.
Post race
Warm down:

Just tried to get out of the rain!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The weather played a factor. Did not do the training I should have!!

Event comments:

Good race! For some reason the weather is always a factor!! It is always a windy race. The trail portion of the run was well marked but would have loved mile markers!! The rain was just awful!! It got so bad I could barely see on the bike. Will do this race again next year. One of these years there will be no wind or rain!!
