Thanks for all the encouragement! Even though I wasn't as prepared this year, I still managed to finish with a time of 2:58:45 and placed 2nd in my age division. I'm not sure what my split was yet, but I think my average on the bike was around 18.8 miles per hour, which is a record for me in a 25 mile bike ride. I came home and passed out for 4 hours yesterday afternoon. It takes alot out of me but is totally worth it! By the way, I went back to the race results from last year and my time was 3:20!!! I cut over 20 minutes! That's crazy!
