Event comments:

All of my comments are based on how well I performed with my current level of knowledge. There were many things I would have done differently if I would have known. I had no expectations for anything. When I sign up next year, I know exactly what to expect and WILL do better.

Overall the course was great. The race was extremely well run. As I was driving home, I was beat down, bloody, and tired. The next morning, I was up bright and early looking for the next one.
