Warm down:

More like "warm up" as fast as I could.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Acid build up during run. Wet socks made it a little rough on the feet.

Event comments:

Had a great time. The food kind of sucks. There is one great place to eat : New York Ritchies down on Island Ave. which is straight down the mountain from the venue.

Everything else is there, though. The local bike shop that helped organized is easy to find and helpful.
