Well I got caught behind a couple of people and I couldn't pass this one person so that was kinda annoying, I could have gone a little faster if I could have passed but my pass was good so i'm not to upset about it.

This was good it was a good run from the pool to the bike area, but i did this pretty fast i think. I put on my bike shoes with no socks so that helped the time.

I really tried to push it on the bike because it was so short, I think I did a good job, only got passed twice, once by some guy really pushing it and then right at the end as I slowed up for the dismount, other then that I think I did good and felt good.

Comments:

this went well just had to put socks on that was what took me the longest, and running with my bike.

Comments:

I was actually happy with my run time, I probably could have gone a little faster but i was happy. I felt like i was going to throw up towards the end when i started to push myself so i had to slow down a little but overall i really can't complain.

Warm down:

walked around cheered everyone else on

Event comments:

I thought that this race could have been better organized, people were late and everything was late. I have done this race in the past and really enjoyed it, it is great for beginners. i was a little disappointed at not getting a water bottle this year, and the shirts really were not good this year. Also there was no water at the end of the race to hand out. I just think for the money paid this race could have been better organized, better shirts (not a big fan of the tank tops) and water at the end. Other then that it was fun like always, and the kids at the end of the race are so great to watch.
