Post race
Warm down:

Reconnected to pump, met Colin after race, grabbed some grub and watched the rain come pouring in. We were lucky to get that race in.

Event comments:

Enjoyed the race in 2010, this one was even better. Weather was a bummer but the race itself went really well, I like the course and the pool swim. Great volunteers, much better transition area and overall better race than 2010. Will be doing it again in 2012.
