Comments: I performed better than I expected. The training has really paid off. I must say that this is the first race I have had that seemed easy. I had a plan and executed it. It was just what my body had. Nothing hurt and I wasn't fighting any odd pain. I was just pushing as hard as I could go. For the first time, train hard and race easy made complete sense to me. My goal was 3:30:xx and I crushed that. My goal was a top 20 and I crushed that as well.
I'm excited for racing in the future and just want to get faster.
Met Emilio Desoto in the parking lot of our hotel after the race. Super nice guy. I'm glad I had the chance to talk with him and get to know him a little.
