Comments:

I have raced this course 6 times, 3 times in a triathlon and 3 in the run and have PR'ed each time. I had a target to shoot at of 36:32 from the April triathlon and I made it! Tried to contain myself on the way out but went pretty quick. Ankle pain kicked in bad about mile 2.5 but pushed to break 36.
