  • Comments: So, a very good first race of the season for me. 8th overall, 6th as far as individuals go when you take the relays teams out, and 1st in my age group. Of course, you always think you could have/should have done better, but for me that is because my training isn't where it should be, especially in regards to my running. So, I will try to step that up other the next two months to hopefully be that much stronger in those disciplines for the Papio Tri and the Pigman HIM. An interesting note, the overall winner was 59 years old! Just crazy. He is the guy who beat me by something like 15 seconds two years ago when I finished second overall. That was when I had the Specialized road bike, but he had an inferior bike then. Now I have a really nice bike, but his was as nice with Zipp wheels. Plus he's obviously a very good runner. I always enjoy this race and the other races the Papio Rec. Department puts on.

  • Comments: I always have fun at this race, even if it's in the rain like it was today. I look forward to racing this course again in a month at the Papio Tri.

  • Comments: Lots of fun. Very rewarding although I do know that this time would have been good for only 11th place last year and not 2nd. Still, a great way to start off my Father's Day.

  • Comments: No chip timing. Pre-race meeting done at the start line 5min before race. No dismount markers. Good bike course, except for riding on sidewalk, but not enough competitors to make it crowded. Run couse is a little boring.

  • Comments: There was a fork in the bike path that was not marked. Many people took the wrong path. I was fortunate to know the area well. Next year, a volunteer or sign would be helpful at this location.
