Post race
Warm down:

Drank alot of water got a massage and then re ran the run course with Amanda and then Run walked the Run with Joe. I really thought Joe was gonna kill me as I tried to get him movin. Joe and Amanda did an excellent Job and made it woth working with them.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not haveing my family with me. and maybe I should have listened to my Ipod before the race.

Event comments:

I think James and T3am T3 did a great job. James did a great job as a race director. (considering it was his 1st year. I think they did well and made use of all the suggestions that were given to them for this race.
