Transition was pretty good. Transition area not so good, it needed to be swept more, there were little pebbles all over, but no big deal.

Nothing, my bike was right near the transition exit.

Good strong bike ride. First race on the new Lucero, upgraded from an alum.Kilo, man that bike is fast. There was one crappy corner right after the turn around, but from what I can understand they had to change the course this year do to a bridge being out.

Event comments:

Nice race, not very big but just big enough. The bike course had a few hills but nothing to hard for a flat lander like me. I was not sure if I was going to do this race but now I am glad I did. The course is just right and in a nice quiet location. Friendly volunteers and great post race BBQ! I will be back next year for sure!
