  • Comments: Post race activities only really good for people staying at resort. Had to wait until evening for free concert. Free Alcoholic drink voucher not very attractive since I had a long drive home. I guess It would be great if I was staying weekend. One big problem no convenient restrooms. No where to go during race. had to walk up steep hill to use restroom in resort or go into nearby McDonalds

  • Comments: This race was mentally hard for me on a bunch of different levels. First was my division. I really didn't want to be a Clydesdale. I was cruising around at 190 pounds so that wasn't an option. Then before I registered I weighed myself. 198. I know that wasn't right because I weighed 190 on Friday. I had a 3 hour swim Friday night and weighed 188 after. I had a 2 hour bike on Saturday. But when I weighed myself on Monday morning I was 198. I thought I was just retaining water but when I weighed in on Tuesday, 198. By Thursday morning I was back to 190 again. What do I do. Tell the RD? I dunno. I was going to change back into my AG, but 2 of the fastest guys I know would be in my AG. I thought, this would be the only way I would ever place. Then I figured if I won, I wouldn't except. That would suck. This pretty much consumed all of my thoughts prerace. I wanted to win, but not like this. So, once I knew I was out of the medals I was relieved, but now all I could think of is that I am 10+
