Race rating (4)

Comments: Other than the swim counter (I will count from here on out), it was a great little "tune up" race. The wrench bling is cool too.

Comments: I ended up leaving the race very concerned about the way they were directing traffic at HR pkwy outside the rest center. During the race I was hauling through that section of the race course and didn't give it a second thought...but as I watched some of the riders later in the day the cops were doing a horrible job! They weren't even facing the direction that the racers were coming from and multiple times I watched them let cars go right when bicyclists were on their way! They also badly needed an officer or volunteer by the church parking lot to the south of the rec center. Even when I was on the course(6:10 - 6:40AM)there were people coming and going right in the middle of the race course, and later I watched a bad accident with a racer where a car pulled RIGHT in front of him going 25+mph and the rider struck the car went end over end and got badly injured...police, ambulance, firetrucks, etc. Not sure if I'd do this tri again due to safety concerns.

Comments: Wrinkles included no notice on body marking the night before and chip distribution at pool. The former, I showed up wearing narrow cut jeans that I knew from prior experience (stream wading at Great Sand Dunes) they weren't going above my knee; the latter, it cost warm-up time based on how it was handled. Transition area was kinda cramped after the swim, not bad by the run. No clock at the end, due to wave start with hand-held computer.

Comments: This was a super-mini. I thought I was going to have to do double the distance, so when I trained (which was not much) I trained for more than I had to do. Very Fun and I like my medal.
