Comments:

HOT! I knew I would be slower than last year, so I just tried to go out at a reasonable pace and hang on as best I could. I don't normally run through the hoses that people are spraying, but they felt good today.
What would you do differently?:

It always seems to be hot for this race and this year was pretty muggy as well. I should think about carrying water.
Post race
Warm down:

Got water and some ice (the ice went in my tank!). Stretched a little bit and then headed for the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training, heat/humidity

Event comments:

This race has become a fun tradition. One water stop was undermanned, but I still got water. They should consider going to chip timing for a race of this size.
