Bike course was enjoyable. There were a couple of long hills that were pretty tough, but overall just an average "rolling" type course. I passed alot of people on the bike.

Took some extra time to put on socks for the run. Been having some blister problems so I decided to be safe and wear socks.

Comments:

It was a very hot, humid day and by the time I got to the run I was over heating. Took alot of water and dumped alot of water on my head. I was hoping for a pace of 8 minutes or less but the heat slowed me down.
