Felt good as the rain had diminished for most of the first run. Wind in our face on the way out. To our backs at the turn.

Not wear the sunglasses I took. Gotta try the 180's instead.

Aero/TT helmet would help.

Should've placed the shoes under the plastic better. I mean they were wet anyway, but it might have helped.

Walk, cheer for my friends racing.

Event comments:

Very safe course management. Good job to AA Sports.

Canceled the post race awards ceremony, which was a smart idea. Too wet and cold to stand around.
