What an epic race!!!!!! The wind was up and the runners were on! The best race experience by far! It was an ocean start with everyone going hard! The helicopter was flying pretty low-very cool experience!!
The runners linked for about 3/4 of the race - lots of turtles (which you have to dodge!!!) The last 1/4 the wind wasnt producing the runs- it was a hard finish... topped with a 300 yard dash to the finish...
The was a 17 second gap between 1 & 2 in the Elite Mens. Andrea Moller placed 9th overall... Solid Effort.
