Comments:

Being that I was doing this with some friends and its more of a fun event than a real race, my initial plan was just to take it easy. But a few seconds into it I noticed the lead guy from our heat wasn't really going THAT fast, so I decided to go after him. The uphills were brutal but I was able to gain on him and eventually overtook him for the lead. He got me back on the ridiculous downhills though, there was just no way I could keep up with him, he was totally flying down! I still finished 2nd in the heat though.

The obstacles were awesome. Some of them were challenging, others just plain fun.
What would you do differently?:

Considering its a couple days later and my legs are still quite sore, I think I would have been better off taking it easy because I'm supposed to be starting to peak for my HIM coming up.

Met up with my not racing friends and watched the rest of the group finish.

Event comments:

This was just an awesome event, I'll definitely do it again next year.
