Comments:

I was disapointed when I saw my pace. I thought I went faster than that but, then I seen most of the other ladies times were pretty slow as well so I think the coarse may have been long.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice.

Post race
Warm down:

Walked to transition and got my stuff out before everyone else lined up to get in. The volunteers only let 2 people in at a time. Showered and had a snack and went back across the street and seen Steve come in on the bike and out on the run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of OWS training.

Event comments:

I loved camping and being able to walk to transition and start/finish of the race from the trailer. We had a lot of fun and plan on doing this one again next year.
