Was a great run until mile 2 and then horrible cramp in stomach. Was screaming while running. I am sure people thought I was nuts. pumped arms up and down and kept on running. Cramp left at last 25 yards. was a terrible mile.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out what to do about back problems which cause stomach cramps.

Event comments:

Love the Sprint race and all the camaraderie that goes along with it. Will do it again now that I am over the pond fear! This was my second race in the series first was last year and it was only my 2nd tri. I am feeling much better about everything and look forward to testing it again.
