Better time than I expected. I did not think I was doing very well. I trashed my legs on the ride, but fought through it. This was my best run time out of the 3 races I have done this year so I am real happy with that.

Event comments:

I signed up for the olympic but something happened with my registration. I didn't know I was doing the sprint until I got to packet pick-up. I was furious and they wouldn't do anything to change it. By this morning I was over it and able to focus on the race. I don't know what happened with my swim but it was absolutely terrible. PR's in the ride and run as far as avg. pace so I was pleased with that effort
