walking and food/water ingestion.

need to keep working on increasing my turnover rate and to keep going to long rims for endurance training needed for 70.3 runs.

Event comments:

Race has seen lower participant numbers in recent years. In the 1990's race served as a regional USTA with numbers of 400 participants. Nice local event that isn't very expensive. Interesting to learn my performance was my fastest ever despite having done this event since the mid 1980s.
