Got a flat 6 miles in, so time is estimated based on reported actual distance from a competitor and my average pace for the distance I covered. Walked about a half mile, and a course marshal replaced my tube while I directed traffic. Disappointed with the flat, but still put out a hard effort. Would have been nice to see how I did without the flat though.

I think the flat was caused by hitting a decent sized stone in the roadway. At the time it happened I was looking down, so it's possible if I were looking a little more forward I would have seen it before hitting it and avoided it, but you never know.

Waited around for door prizes and the hope that there were only 3 people in my division so I could still take home some hardware despite the flat. Turns out there were more than 3 of us.


Flat tire. Probably could get a lot better at climbing hills too, my legs were burning on the climb.
