  • Comments: Well, I guess its better to crash & burn on a sprint and get it over with then on a longer race and suffer for hours. But I don't think I cooked myself on the bike and I know I didn't try anything new for the race so I'm not sure exactly what happened to me. There's always another race, I reckon. At least I finished in the shade tent and not the med tent.

  • Comments: Overall great experience and if I decide to do a Sprint next year would definitely consider doing this one if nothing else to see if I could improve my time. It was hosted in a housing division and the locals were really great, one couplde were holding garden hoses set up with a rain type nozzle and were hosing off runners at around the 200-300m mark. I definitely took advantage of their service. Was pretty suprised by the time actually (1:15:02) b/c my on paper expectations were around 1:20:00. So maybe my goal was a little too generous but I am very pleased with my race time and my AG top 10 position. If I add the extra distance using my avg run time it would be around 1:18:30 which makes my pre-race prediction much more reasonable. Minus some time for the extra .5 on the bike so back down to around 1:17:00ish. So still great race time vs my pre-race predictions. Another good race by SetUp Events except for the very shortened run, it was a simple out and back and it could

  • Comments: As ever, Setup did a great job with this race. The venue was nice, and the event was well run. I love it that their events are always on time. When they give you a time that something is going to happen (start, awards, whatever), it happens at that time. My one complaint would be: no cookies at the finish. What's up with that? I can eat an orange any time! I want COOKIES!!!!
