Good job out there! It was cool to meet you and your crew. That was a really tough and rewarding day.
The course and weather did not disappoint. The aid stations, volunteers and race organizers were excellent.
At the finish I thought I went sub-9 but ended up 9:05. Finished the last 50km with some really friendly people that kept the motivation high. Otherwise I would have been alone in those head and crosswinds.
