Subject: RE: Washington? Hey smoom. I did that race several years ago...its a good race! The bike was blazingly fast- I think I averaged 22.7 or something like that (and you know my normal pace isn't that ) on the ride! Swim was fine- its water and wet and you cover X distance. Nothing really remarkable there. Bike, as I mentioned, was fast as heck. The run was a sufferfest when I did it- about a million percent humidity so people were struggling (me included ). Unless they changed it, you start in a really pretty little park, have shaded streets for a bit and then head across the river into "town", turn around and come back, rinse and repeat. Nice cus you always see people on the run. Not nice because if you are struggling it is mentally hard to turn around and go back away from the finish. Still, really fun little race. You can read my race report if you want to stalk me. We are on vacation starting Friday so I wouldn't be able to join but before we planned the vacation I had actually thought about doing it. Its a bit of a drive down there- 90 mins or so? |
