  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: After having run out of ice at many of the aid stations throughout the middle of the course, which happens to be the worst for sun exposure, I was unable to keep a decent pace. tehy really needed to be ahead of this. they had sent emails about how warm it was supposed to get and about hydrating well but they didn't seem to be prepared themselves. I also didn't care that transition was so much longer than last year. i am guessing they added a lot of athletes to the overall race, but they also moved the Sprint transition area away from the side to allow a better flow fro these racers. THis made sense to do but it added a lot of distance to the T area. I didn't care for that. If i had actually had a decent race I may not have been going back to this race again. As it is I may return for redemption on this course next year.
