What limited your ability to perform faster:

N/A A great race. Put it all together and performed to the best of my (limited) abilities.

Event comments:

Love this course!
In the past they transported your gear bag from T1 to T2 and gave it to you after the race. They decided not to this year and did not tell anyone. Many folks found this out in T1 right before the start of the race. Also, they didn't have enough folks marking racers-I have never seen that before.

I was passing others who were saying, "Good job, 587" (that was my race number). People were cheering me on. These were the nicest people I have ever been around!
