Overall pretty happy with this other than slicing a huge gash in my finger 30- seconds before gun went off, spent a minute after gun went off sucking my finger to no avail. Took it a little easier this year hoping not to get HR up to high right from start

Nothinf

Took a little more time trying to get bleeding finger to stop, again to no avail, saw two volunteers asked for tape or bandaid had none so just kept going.

Nothing

Overall real happy with bike, tried to take it easier than last year and not spike heart rate, did first 6 or so miles in small chain ring except when going down hills, felt great was able to pick it up and in last 10 or so miles when I saw had chance to avg 20 mph tried to do so, course I think was long as Garmin said 56.7 and mph 20.3

Nothing

This went fine ,spent a few seconds saying hi to wife and son.

Nothing

Felt great the first 7 miles, then hit the big hill was determined to run the hill this year and did, but HR spiked to 190 and then had a tought time getting down from there without really slowing but still felt ok, then hit mile 11 and just hit the wall. Had to take a few walking breaks. Looking back does not look like I took in enought calories as only had 750 on bike and maybe 350 on run.

Sat down relaxed, got finger cleaned out and bandaged, enjoyed time with family and friends, ate, drank


Run again


Love this rate, although this year could really tell that there were more poeple doing it. Swim more crowded, bike course more crowded.
