Got a little caught up in crowd to start but then broke out and started passing people. Not as fast as last year. Knocked off a few cobwebs. No fluid or food taken in.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing on the day besides getting better placement on the starting line. I just needed more training.

Awesome race. Well marked course. Plenty of help. Excellent post race with massages avaliable(though I skipped out). Delicious pizza. Wonderful trophies(a beautiful bottle of wine for my mantle). Ultramax kicks butt at putting on events. Excellent start to season. Looking forward to more Ultramax races this year.
