Event comments:

I was in 2nd place overall for the Grand Prix Series. I knew I needed a good race today. I stuck with a game plan today and it worked perfectly. I ended up getting 1st place AG today and 1st place Grand Master for the Grand Prix Series. It was great seeing familiar faces and talking to everyone since it is the last triathlon of the season.
