Comments:

The course changed this year and they removed the really BIG hill. With the change came a finish line on an uphill, so it was difficult to sprint to the line.

I felt good and I'm pleased with my time.
What would you do differently?:

Haven't trained enough hills yet, so I felt that was my weakness today.
Post race
Warm down:

run and walk for about 1/2 mile and then stretch.

Event comments:

Quick rain shower 10 minutes before race. Rain threatened during the race, but never quite materialized. (Thank goodness!) The triathlon club puts on a great race complete with good looking male triathletes dressed like Cupid that ride their bikes along the course and encourage the racers. They offer a 5k, 10k, 15k and kids 1/2 mile.

The race course passes the equine, poultry and bovine units on campus and they were quite fragrant today.

Great after-race goodies. Fresh bread from a local bakery, plenty of fruit and best of all Jamba Juice!

I guess they had those hot triathletes there to make up for the yummy smell.  I'm sure the rain accentuated that.    Great race!
