Comments: Race started a few minutes late.. but not hugely. No water stations on bike, but that was known going in. Run had 3 stations which you passed each twice. Overall decision making was only average, because I shouldn't have tried to pass on that hill.. though I didn't want to loose my speed and get stuck spinning behind slow people. Only thing I can think of I would like to see changed is the location of the turn around for the 2nd lap on the bike. You have to reenter the park and weave through 2 lanes of bike traffic, car traffic and run traffic. Not conducive to keeping speed. I also don't like how they don't have bibs for the run.. Makes actual competing hard as you don't know who has passed you. As usual, my CRAPPY run lost me some positions.. Going into the run I had a 3:40 lead on #1 and 5:07 lead on #2... #1 ran a 48:36 run, so managed to run over 2min/mile faster than me.. #2 ran a 53:55; so 1min/mile faster.. Happy with 3rd.. I think if I realized I was in 1st going

Comments: I will do this race again next year. They ran out of T-shirts at packet pickup, but I wasn't crazy about the design so didn't ask to have one mailed to me.
