I wanted to beat last week's time by 30 seconds but instead I was 6 seconds slower. BOOOOOO LOL oh well. I still kicked ass despite a girl who tried to put me in the bushes. "I was going around some roots." It's an off road tri sweetheart, you go over the roots. I said ON YOUR LEFT you MAINTAIN YOUR LINE. But I'm not bitter. LOL
