Comments:

After the swim was canceled, I was a little less motivated for the bike. This ended up being a glorified training ride for me. I was disappointed with my effort, but a bit discouraged by the situation.
What would you do differently?:

Next time, I will enter the whole triathlon, so that if the weather is a problem, I could do the duathlon.
Post race

Event comments:

The organizers did a great job. The post-race party had a great band and great hoagies. Lots of information was provided ahead of time in a very organized manner. The course was excellent. The weather was the only real problem.
