Course: Raining and lots of wind, it really sucked. I got passed by lots of people which means I kicked all thier asses in the water. When loading my bike to go home I noticed that my back brake was rubbing, not sure if this was the case during the race but since I sucked it up I will blame it on that and will be sure to check that before hand next time!

I see you decided to go with the wetsuit. Do you know what the water temp was? I had planned on taking the kids to spectate but when it was raining I decided it was best to not take them out in it.

Congrats!!!! Hope you had a good time dispite the chilly and yucky weather.
