Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Broke arm in December and missed 3 months of training. I also weighed 218 which is probably the heaviest i have raced since my first year. First race of year is always challenging.

Event comments:

I love this race, good course and best post race party. That said, the organizers have got to do a better job of organization and bike course managments. The long swim upset alot of folks.
