What would you do differently?:

Event comments:

Barcelona is a fantastic place to race. With some additional planning by the organisers, this will eventually be a great race. The finish time clock was set to all zero's which made the finish a bit of an anticlimax. There was only one water station on the run which was a challenge. Overall I had a great time and will book it again next year. Hopefully Garmin will bring along a spare clock in case it fails again :-)
