pulled back on the beach and drifted in the last mile got passed by probably 30+ people. did not kick in but was more concerend with quality work outs this week than trying to crush it on the run.

Event comments:

would have liked to seen a water station between the start and the fort and from the fort to the finsh. just a little too much for me.
