Seemed far to the eye but looking at the time and length of the run to transition, perhaps they were correct.

I thought I was beaten by someone in my age group but come to find out he was older. Maybe more depressing.

Cardio and leg strength on the bike.

Event comments:

Just a little less everything than the other races I've done this summer.
Loved the venue but not so much the race. It was a little unorganized and the bike was very dangerous. Too much congregation in the course.

The positives were:

My wife came along and got inspired. She enjoyed it and seems very motivated.

Met Shellabree my first real BT friend and the only one I have actually met in person.
She ran the run in zone 2 and still took 2nd. How nice would that be?
