This is still my weakness and needs attention. I would be a medal contender if I could get my run times down.
Saying that! I averaged about a minute per mile better than last year!!
Still needs work though.

Event comments:

I really like this race. This was my 3rd year and have really enjoyed all of them. The director, staff, and volunteers do a top notch job. I would and have recommend this race to anyone!
Sorry I missed the BT meeting. I had bike issues in the transition area. I was really hoping to meet some fellow BTers in person. May have to check into the temporary tattos. Not even sure if they are selling them this year.
