i declare shenanigans; saw the 5k sign before the finish. in general, this sucked. had nothing. one of my worst sprint tri runs.

Post race
Warm down:

walk around, try not to freeze thanks to the wind.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

too many races in too many weeks. i'm cooked, yo.

Event comments:

this course is too hard based off my out-of-shapeness right now. in general, though, this could be good. i think i liked it slightly better when it was at cherry creek, but i dunno.
