Thought I had a better time according to my timer on my Bike. Oh well. It wouldn't have mattered in the end as the third place overall time for my age group was about 7 min ahead of me.

What would you do differently?:

Just need to keep getting better. Need to lose some weight so I am not having to carry it up the hills.

Cramps trying to put shoes on and running out to start the run. Carried a Print Nathan Hand Water Bottle 8 oz. for the first time. Liked it.
