Tough course for me. I don't do long hills well and had a hard time with this one
What would you do differently?:

Practice more long hill climbs, try to be faster in the morning race so I have more time between the morning race and the afternoon race

I didn't take the time to put on my socks...I'm still paying for that one. Sand and gravel in my shoes combined to tear up the backs of my heels.
What would you do differently?:

Put on my socks.
