Remember earlier in the thread the post about imagining how a 2:03 would be on the bubble for qualifying? Well, I went 2:03 for 30th! (M35-39). Had a great day, couldn't have gone any faster just didn't cut it against that field! Amazing speed out there! Congrats to all! Loved the swim but start was crazy fast and rough. Front 1/2 of bike great, back 1/2 horribly rough with construction scenery, run course was really flat, fast and scenic. Overall A- as a host city and i totally get why MLK gets it again next year. Great destination race!
Yep that was me. Some thought I was crazy but even that estimate was off. My best case scenario had me going 2:03.xx and I went low 2:04. Overall very happy with my race and time. Just for fun I looked back at last year's results and my time would have placed me 17th vs the 32nd that I placed yesterday.
