Comments:

first leg was in a light rain on Friday from 11:00a - 12:20am, 2nd was at night in showers from 9:30p - 10:45p, and the third was on Saturday morning from 9:30a - 10:00am.

I was off my projected finish time by 3'25", which is not bad at all.

What would you do differently?:

Sleep a little more and bring 3 seperate changes of running cvlothes along with two pairs of shoes, nothing is worse than soaking your only pair of shoes on the first run and having to put on wet shoes 8 hours later.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of sleep, sitting in a mini van for 30+ hours

Event comments:

A very demanding race which puts alot of responsibility on your team mates. My team was great, we had no problems what so ever. I did see alot of team having problems and being very frustrated.

Also being in van #1 was good. Even through the running legs were longer, I finished at 10:30am on Saturday where our last runner came across the finiah line around 4:00p.
