Event comments:

Good race, unfortunately my times are weird b/c their mats got unplugged, so my transition times are worked into my other times, so I don't really have an accurate idea of how I did on each section. I wish I had done better, but this was really in keeping with my current fitness level, I really went about as hard as I could. I need to get MUCH faster on the bike.

Course: very hilly; a killer hill about 1 mile in. A lot of people walked it. Just rolling hill after rolling hill; relatively long downhill on the Swamp Rabbit, but my legs just didn't have more speed in them.
