They started the waves too close together. After rounding the first buoy I had to zig zag around people that were wading in the water. The lake is beautiful and the beach is nice so other than the congestion I have no complaints.

The first 100 yards on the bike was on a loose dirt section. I was praying not to flat in this section.

So the bike was a disaster for me. Within the first 2 miles I lost my only water bottle and my chain came off. I really sucked on the hills.
Really the only good part was coming off the bike because I had a good running dismount, except that's when I realized my feet were numb.

Secure my water and check my gears/chain.

Not bad except my hip flexors cramped and I had a tough time getting my left sneaker on.

Couldn't feel my feet for the first 3/4 of a mile. Not having water on the bike really screwed with my head. I wish I knew what my mile splits were for the run because I guarantee I picked up serious time on the second half. 7+ minute mile pace is slow for me. Felt really good after the turn around, passed a lot of people.

More b/r bricks.

Light moving and stretching.


Bike!


They could have prohibited cars from driving on the course in the middle of the park.
I actually saw a guy go down at mile 2.5 on the bike and I notified the course woman as I passed and my wife said they had an ambulance there in no time. That is good to hear.
