Most importantly - Official race time was GUN TIME.... First ever race with gun time for me.. Did not know this before the race. Very strange..... Actual chip time was 1:58:25. Gun time difference between me and second place finisher was 19 seconds. Chip time difference between me and second place finisher 40 seconds.

Nothing flat about this course.... Garmin recorded 363 ft of climbing! And of course uphill climb to finish line. Pretty tough course always going up or down.

Fueling... one RCS and one Mito before leaving hotel for race. One gel 5 min before start of race. One gel at mile 7. Drank 1/2 one 10oz bottle with 2 scoops of SE. and 1/2 10oz bottle with water.

If you run this race, line up as close as possible to the starting line. Awards are based on gun time not chip time!!
