I know I wasn't that fast compared to lots of other guys, but for me this was an amazing run. The big thing for me was NO ONE passed me. I always get passed on the run, and this time I held them all off!

Not a Thing

Warm down:

Walked down to the lake for a quick swim and changed.

Transition skills.

Event comments:

I say post race activities bad because it looked like a storm was comming so everyone left right away. This was my first AG win and I didn't even get a award.
