Need to do more training bricks. Drank Monster/Cytomax combo on run, which caused my stomach to bloat. Too much sugar. Will not try this again. Next time, try PowerGel on last lap of the bike.

Fun race, wasn't it? I thought it was funny that the awards announcer made the NASCAR reference. I'm sure you get that all of the time!

Congrats on your age group placement!!

Thanks! Yes, fun race! I do get the NASCAR reference often, but better than President references!

I think with a Top 10 you're going to be getting more NASCAR references. I'll start...
Kyle Bush came speeding out of T1, could have got a penalty for going to fast but race officals must not have been paying close enough attention! Let's see if Jeff Gordon can keep up with him.
How was that?

Thanks again for helping Saturday AM.

Are you kidding me? I am hooked for sure now. I was pretty much hooked when I got my bike.
I thought it was so fun. I probably took it a little too serious, I would have liked to have met more people before the race.
