Ha-ha. Everything.

It seemed like everybody was going too slow so not enough motivation created by other competitors.

U-turn faster. Go in the beginning faster, easy to say when you are warm.

10 sec. return back to drop off sunglasses.

Keep my running shoes dry.

What warm-down? I was wet and cold.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of sleep the day before (4 hours). Too cold to be wet, my brain malfunctions.

I was passing others who were saying, "Good job, 587" (that was my race number). People were cheering me on. These were the nicest people I have ever been around!
