Finished 11th out of 110 racers in my class. Placed 383 out of 2200 racers. My time was 2:03:42. Here are the times of the racers above me in my class (my time listed last). My goal was top 10 and I was 7 seconds off of that goal. Looking at the times, I am not that far off of top 5.

The weather was awesome. High 30's at the start, mid 40's at the end.
I'm still undecided about what class to race next year. I may move up to Expert, however my time in Expert class would have been 30th place out of 46 racers. The winning time was 1:45:58. I would need to move my training to the next level. The other option is staying in sport and going for a podium finish. Right now I'm leaning towards Expert class.
Iceman did attract some pro racers, including the legend himself, Ned Overend. Here are the top 6 Pro Men finishes. It's amazing that their times are 20+ minutes faster. Unbelievable.
