Comments:

One complaint - NO MILE MARKERS. Not being familiar with the course, I had no clue what kind of pace I was setting.

Time was good, considering some pretty sketchy training in October. The hip loosened up within about a 1/4 mile, thank goodness. But still sore today.
What would you do differently?:

Not let up on training.

And, the day before take my MTB and spray paint and mark miles!!

Warm down:

Water, water, stretch, banana, repeat.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training decline after Sept tri.

Event comments:

Good time, like the off-road format. Late season events should have something different/fun.

Nice to meet Kelly, Autumn and your families.

Performance: Good
Course: Nearly all off road. Hills were short but occasionally steep. Because it was a multi-use trail, it had some ruts/grooves from horse traffic that forced one to watch footing. Nothing too terrible though.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
