Comments:

This is a very short course so I went hard. A small group of four or so runners in my wave bolted from the start and got away from me. I hung with one other person not too far behind them.

Was very happy with this run.

Comments:

I hit this flat course hard and it paid off. The wet road conditions and rain kept me from cornering as well as I could have, but overall this was a good ride.

I was passed by a few riders but I passed a ton of people from prior waves.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Went fine and fast. Forgot to take off cycling gloves so I ran with them in my hand.

Comments:

I was hoping to run a negative split, which I missed by a bit, but overall I was happy with this run. I went hard, passed a bunch of people and did not get passed.
