Event comments:

Overall I was not off to a good start. I was surprised I didn't bonk without proper nutrition pre race. Although during the race I had 3 hammer gel servings and two HEED drinks. Looking forward to beating these times real soon. Also prob didn't go all out due to hernia. Felt like I had a lot of energy left afterwards.
