• Comments: In spite of my suckola race, I did come in 3rd in my age group because of the 4 entrants in the women's 45-50 AG, only 3 showed and I therefore came in 3rd ;) What a hoot! They are going to mail me my trophy cuz I didn't even check afterwards...can ya blame me? Who'd a thunk?! Probably my one and only trophy so I'll take it. My 5 year old son was ecstatic when I told him I get a trophy! ;)

• Comments: Post run food was pathetic. Bananas and couple chunks of dry bagel was all there was. I have done this race since it started 4 years ago. I always enjoy it and this year was no exception. Good time with my family, great friends and a PR to boot. What's not to like!

• Comments: the water stations on the run were pitifully undermanned (the one at the turnaround you took the cup of the table yourself) and it seemed the people that were there didnt quite understand how to do it.....more volunteers out on the bike course couldve been useful as well. food was basically gone when i went to grab some grub causing me and the schwimmycoacher to stop at wendy's on the way home!!

• Comments: They were out of plates and out of a bunch of food, and they really needed bottles of water or something at the end. I guess that's the downfall of doing the Olympic. The sprinters eat it all before you get back.

• Comments: My only complaint for this race is that there was little to no water and food left at the finish line. Otherwise, I had a great time at this race. I am glad I made the trip. All the Donkeys and donkey families rock. Congrats to DeannaS and Schwimmy Coach on their first Oly's, jmwebs for his PR, bunnyT for his first "tri" and OWS, djdavey for his effort, wit and encouragement in the waning days of his Ironman training, and of course pjgrande and tripletmon for their hardware. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Got to meet BpMoozer. She gave me a shout out on the run course and then came to introduce herself in transition after the race. Thanks for coming over and great to meet you.
