A better first run than I expected, having been sick the week before. Actually ran the whole thing, including the monster hill!

Wind was not exactly optimal. I'm actually a little discappointedin my overall time. I thought I'd at least be able to average 15 mph, but I guess this time does include T1 and T2 as well. I thought I did pretty well on the hills (actually caught people on the hills) but as typical was not as speedy on the downhill (where they caught back up with me).

Again, a better run than I expected. Ran the whole thing except the monster hill this time.

Being sick the week before, for sure. Mostly just not being as good of a runner and cyclist as the other people there. Without the swim, I have no edge!


I wasn't going to do it knowing how cold it was last year, but then got talked into it. Even though it's cold, and I am competing against better runners and cyclists I still really enjoy this race. It gives me a chance to focus on my weaknesses and I'm glad that I participated.
