Event comments:

Nice race. Flat and fast with perfect weather. You get to set in the heated convention center on comfy seats until about 20 minutes before the start. The corral system even worked ! There were no delays for people waking up front. The scenery is pretty good, too with nice neighborhoods, Butler U., a couple of parks, and downtown sites like the state house and Lucas oil stadium. I will definitely do this again. Hopefully to qualify for Boston!
