I finished in 4:58 which included one 8 minute rest stop to pee and fill a water bottle. My goal was sub 5 hours, so I was really happy to beat it. I also passed by brother in law, and beat him by 24 minutes of chip time, and he trains for these and has now completed three Whistler Fondos. I only signed up for the event 2 weeks ago as my work asked me to do it. I fully intend to do another one with some training. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
