You mentioned Chris and Andi got Kona slots. Matt Hanson also received one. You mentioned times were slower from last year to this year. The main reason was last year it was a cold front 40-50 degrees which is optimal running temperatures to go fast. This year it was hot and the run was humid and in the 80's.
@@brettbale9535 You also have to factor a different race course (slightly) due to a different start location. there was also a pretty vicious headwind for a good portion of the bike (I raced it)
