Comments:

This was a great event and I liked that it was moved to Lake Nona in Orlando. This is a very nice place. They had great food at the end of the event along with good music. The weather warmed up as the day grew longer although the wind picked up as well. I would do this event again. It was for a good cause and I thought they did an excellent job with rest stops.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I had injured my knee a couple of weeks before this event and it kept me from doing the century. I had my doubts on how the knee would feel after doing 60 miles put it was okay. Still sore but okay.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My patella on my knee cap has been giving problems over the last 2 weeks and it kept me from doing the century.

Event comments:

Great event and would do it again.

Course: Course was very flat and travel for the most part within the city limits. There was a time for the 60 mile course where you got out on country roads but not very many. It traveled through several neighborhoods in East Orlando and a few small towns.
