It was a beautiful day!! Perfect weather conditions both years that I've done this event. I'm getting a little faster, but my lack of hill training on an extraordinarily hilly course is still a big limiter! Long report some day. . . .

SWIM TO BIKE TRANSITION: 5:37
BIKE 41 km: 1:44:28 (14.6 mph)
BIKE TO RUN TRANSITION: 2:46
RUN 10 km: 1:14:11 (37:33,36:38 splits)
FINISH 3:44:23

PR and personal course record!

    Awesome improvement. You knocked, what?, 20 minutes off of last year. I'd call that progress.

    Great job! It looks like a perfect day. I would have never signed up for the race after hearing that report of snakes on the swim exit! Can't wait for the race report.
