Went out too fast. Once the race started, there was a group of runners who flew out of the gate. I got a bit caught up in it and was pushing too hard.

Pace myself.

Glasses were fogged up. Gave up and them and just tucked them down the front of my jersey after the first half mile.

Was getting soaked and hit in the eyes with rain the whole time. Had a headwind for some of it. It is a fun course. A bit bumpy on the long stretch into the wind. It was really lonely out there. I only passed one person and it was right at the end of the bike. He passed me within the first 4 minutes of the run.

No issues, just wet and muddy into transition.

This is a neat warm up for the season. The rain did put a damper on things an limited the field. It was a challenging run course. Greenswell does a good job with their races. The course was well marked and well staffed. I am marking this as below average as the lack of attendees makes it feel more like training than a race. The post race amenities were weak (not sure if you can blame this on the rain). Also, the results posted are in an almost unreadable format. I typically like to see overall results AND age group. This was a mess with age group only.
