Comments:

This was a really fun run. 25 minute without anything to drink gets a little long for me, but thats my problem because of being a slower run. Wind was a little rough at times, but hey, it's the middle of March.
What would you do differently?:

Not eat so horribly the day before.
Post race
Warm down:

Tried to walk around and cheer on others for awhile, but got very cold once I stopped running.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Carrying 50 pounds of exttra weight.

Event comments:

Like I said above, I had a lot of fun at this race. Was able to talk to 4 other B.Ters. Set a P.R. for the race, of course almost every race is a P.R. when you've done so little. Best thing about this is it has given me a lot of confidance for the running portions of the tri's I have planned for the year. Last year I was always worries about the run portion. Incorporating more running in the pre-season can, and will, only help.
