I was able to ride with Craig for a while and that was great!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I was very excited with everything I was able to do.

Event comments:

Surviving the swimk was first. The bike was fun and the run was hard. Brent ran the last 1/4 mile with me and the brought tears to my eyes. He and Kevin have been more than just friends to me and I could not have have done this without them.
I raced this race for Michael and Kevin. I can't wait to do this again! Thanks guys!
