i rode on my dad's 9year old mountain bike, with full mountain bike tires, front shocks, seat post shock, halogen lamp, back light, ringer, plastic pedals, and kick stand. It was both a mental and physical challenge, but it was a lot of fun.

Comments:

ALOT of people were walking during some segmetns. I walked much more then at any other race before. I had to tell myslef right leg, left leg during the run to keep focus. It was not that my lungs or heart could not keep up, but rather that I just did not have the usual will to run because of the heat

What would you do differently?:

push myself to run faster, walk less

Post race

Warm down:

walked around,

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the bike, the heat
