A little trouble getting the suit off.

Comments:

The course had several large puddles covering nearly all the lanes due to recent heavy rains. Tailwind did not aid you as much as headwind hindered you. Lots of fun riding with the really fast folks. I love the loop!
What would you do differently?:

N/A Fun ride.

Post race
Warm down:

Wait to get bike out of corral. 3D was very conscious about keeping the corral secure (why not every race 3d?).

Event comments:

Boston Market post-race = yuck. This race is pretty good primarily due to the loop bike course and the scenic views. Running on the race track is cool also. This venue could support so much growth which could make this race special.
