jogged to the start area

Event comments:

This was fun, a bit funky and cold and wet due to the weather but overall well run since they can't schedule the storms.

Great job! You smoked it on the run, sucked it up on the windy/wet bike ride and swam like a champ...you are in a good place for the rest of the season. Congratulations.
