Comments:

A good fun race. I stopped at the halfway rest stop and the 2 last stops the same as i have done before. A lady wearing an MP3 almost hit me and i reported her as this is strictly against the rule. To be honest i was just jealous as i wanted to wear mine.
Have not trained like crazy this year but still got it done well.
What would you do differently?:

I WISH i was like 180LBS and i would rock this. Alas..no good crying over it.
