Event comments:

It has been a rough week at work and my mind has been elsewhere. Got to the race without bike shoes but Sharon came through by driving home for them. Did a good job considering the tension and lack of training the last few weeks. Seems like the 55-59 age group is tougher than the last. Since there are less of us it is hard to place higher percentage wise. Lots of fast runners which is my worst event.

Good job Bob!  Glad you got to jump in today.  I assume there were lots of Hammerheads out and about..
