Event comments:

I think all of these times are messes up. I cross the finish line at 1:08:53 but it shows me at 1:09:19. The transitions were goofy. Time got messed up somewhere because there is no way in the world I ran sub 7 minute miles. My legs were heavy and I was slow. ANd I'm sure I was faster than what my bike speed says.
