k, um, who turned this course into an xterra event??? out of transition, into the parking and then thru a field with some tall grass.......keep in
mind that we had a huge rain storm last week and everything in southeast wisconsin flooded.....including this area of the course!! they did try to compensate some by laying down some plywood but that was only wide enough for one person basically, not the pack of 5-6 i was in!! so off the wood into the much and almost lost a shoe!!! oh well, suck it up, move on and deal right??
What would you do differently?:

that gel i left in T1 that i would taking at about mile 10ish on the bike wouldve been kinda beneficial me thinks!!
