  • Comments: Only challenges with this race were: 1. lack of shade after the finish (can be remedied) 2. time for shuttle back to T1 to pick up car and then return to T2 to pick up bike. Anyone should avoid the need to do this if they can (hard for race organizers to remedy this, I know)

  • Comments: Overall a great race. I did not like the T2 setup, but understand they had to adjust with the construction at the school. Heard from multiple people that their T2 gear was moved with one person having her shoes moved to a completely different row.

  • Comments: This was my 1st half iron distance. I wish I had gotten in the aero postion for the photographer. I looked so dopey in race photos. In my defense, the road was rough. I had a hard time controling my bike going over the bumps and cracks.

  • Comments: Plenty of unforced errors on this day. But this was my first 70.3 starting line (and finishing line) since open heart surgery, so in reality there is nothing to complain about and plenty to be grateful for! And then the wine drinking began in earnest!
