Felt like a tough slow run I thought I was doing aweful saw my son ahead and focused on trying to catchhim so I pushed it up a bit. Turned out it was one of my best runs, run is still my weakest but improving markedly
Post race
Warm down:

walked off the event drank water watched for my daughter and brother to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It was a very hectic week with my play performing and I got very little sleep for the 3 nights leading up to the race so I was not at my best, avoid doublingup like that again.

Event comments:

Still my favorite venue and Trisport does a great job
