Starting is such a tight pack at first sucked. A lot of people kept stopping to see who they were hitting. Once I got out and to the side there were no issues.

start on the outside or further up front.

Wet wet wet

My brake was scraping my tire probably the first 3 miles of the race. Had to fix it on the ride, which was ackward, but it's nice to know it can be done.

Lots of water out there so I was super cautious, especially on the turns.

Check the brakes for rubbing better. I spun the wheel without incident and thought I was good to go. I'll be a little more thorough next time.

Decided to take off my sopping socks.

Not much given the conditions.

Liked the run a lot. Especially since I was already sopping wet and had nothing to keep me from jumping in the puddles (they were unavoidable anyways).

Nothing really. I felt good and had a good time. I just need to work on getting my speed up.

Put a band aid on my heel and ate some pizza.


Rain, a little, but not much. I think I had a decent race. I certainly had fun.


Start of race was pushed back a little, but really it was too dark to safely start on time.

Race was run well, especially given the circumstances. Post race activities definitely suffered because of the rain.
