Event comments:

It was a nice race for the course and area. The race got started late due to an issue with the clock. The start of the 2nd wave was not clearly defined. All the starts were done by someone yelling 'on your mark, get set, go' There needed to be a starter pistol. No liquids on the course except one aid station on the run.
