Comments:

i walked the 2 really long climbs. i got passed a LOT but still enjoyed the race.
What would you do differently?:

train more! i was BEAT. we don't have good hills to train on here, but if i had at least put in many more miles it wouldn't have been so bad.
Post race
Warm down:

eat lots of food. wait for a tow truck. haha, what an adventure that night was.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of mileage, lack of access to hills.

Event comments:

I will do it again. And I will beat my husband at it. And we will take my car - the far more reliable although 6 years older Celica :)
