Comments:

I had trained hills leading up to this race but didn't anticipate it being this hilly! My left leg cramped about 3/4 mile in. It was rock hard! I finally just stopped and stretched/massaged it out good and then walked it off. Not sure what's causing it!
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Left leg cramp

Event comments:

The Army knows how to organize and run an event! They did a GREAT job! Super organized and on time! The only fault I can give them is that this event was not chip timed! The course was VERY challenging. Even though it was only a Sprint Distance, with a little longer run, I think the longer distance competitors would enjoy it due to the hills! The last big one on the ride was actually more a small mountain, think Colorado foothill and you've got it! I would recommend this event to everyone but would encourage them to get chip timing for next year!
