Comments:

I had very low expectations , seeing that I've been in the water less than 5 times this year. My goal was a smooth swim, and I managed this well. Never pushed, just focused ona smoooth stroke and even breathing. Was pleased to see I was the fastest in my AG.

Comments:

I was scared for the run. Haven't done a brick since the IM last Sept, almost 9 months ago. My goal was 30 min, and to break 29, I was ecstatic. My legs were trashed, and the quads are sore from the hills. But I powered through, ran pretty evenly the whole way.
What would you do differently?:

nohting

Warm down:

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Event comments:

Still a great smaller race with ~250 racers. Plenty of support, great post-race spread. I will continue to do this race yearly.
