went pretty well. wasn't sure how my pacing was since my watch never picked up. once it did i realized how much i was slacking and picked it up the last half of the race.

Post race
Warm down:

stretched a little. ate a muffin and a drank a gatorade. packed up my gear in the car since it was pouring down rain then hung around for the awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of practicing transitions this year. i keep saying i need to work on it...

Event comments:

I really like this course and i think it would be the best in the area if it didn't have a pool swim. the bike route is the best of any in the area at this length in my opinion, very challenging with some good hills and long climbs since it is near paris mountain. the run is also very scenic through furman's campus, on the swamp rabbit trail, and 200m track finish.
